You're 1.5k out - which is just in the WW range. Thats just great shooting on his part. Also, 500mph doesn't mean much...its more the angle of approach - If you were flying straight into him you were barely moving across his sight. And 262's are not exactly the sturdiest birds out there. I'd rather be in a P47 going 500mph past a Wirble than in a 262. Sucks to lose the plane, so I can certainly understand why you are venting. <S>
