Having been drafted by Unclkurt into the CLAIM JUMPERS SQUAD almost one and a half years ago some memories come to mind.
One day late August I think. Memory's not as crisp as used to be, one Pilot calling HELP HELP there's a bandit on my six,I am bingo ammo! Wait make it 3 bandits! The radio comes alive "location alt direction" then a pause for what seems like forever. A3 5k South! Unclkurt"s voice cracks vis low two oclock! Rac's voice cracks copy vis, then Flifast yells splash 1 !!! He had already seen him coming in. kurt breaks into lead pursuit from high #2 splash #2 comes across the radio. Bandit on the pilot's direct 6 didn't break. The radio screams I'am HIT I"AM HIT GOING IN!!! He did not survive the fight.
What I remember most about that night wasn't getting my tail shot off, or my squadron dropping what they were doing to help me. It was the class on maneuvers they were willing to teach for the next half hour. :angels:10
