To the lone Zero pilot over A11 I think, that held off two to three F4U's for so long!

It was a testament to defensive flying, you are a credit to your team for tying up enemy aircraft for so long, alone.

Greyga!

I had 12bb's left and missing elevator when you showed up while I was going to land.

You guys were winging together very nicely. Glad I could give you another kill.

Also to the P38 between A40 and A30 towards the end of the frame. You were the one who shot my elevator off. I was able to get away from you because I had 2 others show up nearby. It was a long fight we had. It was on the deck the whole time. Again, I had no ammo to fight.

Actually, that was my Squad mate JRCCrow. (check logs)

I will let him know Tin.

BTW, He will admit he was doing a lot of ACK hugging

But at one point I saw 4-5 F4U's and he was solo, so what ya gonna do?

Kermit, geryga got you, he was F4F.

Hell yeah he was, and fair play to him for doing it too! He did an excellent job of really pissing us off by staying alive and if the situation was reversed, I'd be getting personal with the ack too!

EDIT: Incidentally, if he had gone to put down I would have called the wing off and let him land - not wanting to risk planes on a run through the ack. The only reason we stayed was that I didn't want him airborne and creeping around behind us. However, I bet he had the time of his life tonight.

Yea, I had a blast, I was actually the first A6 you guys chased back to the base, two of you guys drove me down to the deck I actually rearmed and came back up. Good excersize to keep your head on a swivel with F4Us diving on you. Figured it would be good gunnery practice for you guys too. Was waiting for the two man oposite angels pass, couldn't quite keep my bearing with the second man and boom, I was a goner

Lots of fun

Actually, Greyga got the proxy. It was I that actually killed Kermit.

I was walking back to friendly territory when I saw this beatup Jap ride coming by. I tossed a rock and it went through that paper mache' and knocked off Kermit's fuel line. He asploded like a the dragons at the Japanese parades. Pretty colors and such.

Don't fly so low next time froggy.
