Best 1 on 1 I had was a few years ago, one of the first times I flew the '51B. One of the Finns (I've flown beside and against him many times, but his names eluding me) caught me in his 109G2 in a climb out to sea, and we commenced to zoom, turn, merge, dive, and repeat for about ten minutes. He got me in the end, but I got to try out just about every trick in my book in a plane that ended up being one of my favorites, and I also got to see what a 109 was really capable of in the hands of a pro. I wish I still had the film, I did for a long time but lost it when I had to reset my seystem a month or so ago.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I had one while escorting bombers in a mustang, against another mustang. We were evenly matched and the fight went on for minutes from 23000' to the deck where I eventually got a snapshot of his wing on deflection, this after both of us both won and lost advantage numerous times. Afterwards there was a <S> on 200 and a gentlemanly discussion of the fight. I forget his name but he was a great guy.

Those are my best fights. 1 on 1s with folks who know how to talk to each other and show respect. Some of these clowns on 200 talk like pimped out gangsta wannabees.

Best fights I've had are with Coprhead (5.0) in his P40 and me in a Mossie.  We prearrange to meet in a quiet place and we go at it.  I love turn fighting him in this match up.  It makes for some really long tough fights.

I've also dueled him while he flew the P51 and I flew a mossie.  Oddly enough I win these fights more often.

Coprhead... Where are you bud? You haven't flow for a while.  Hope I seen you soon.
