that thar fancy pilot stuff

Very cool.   And even more lucky that it worked.   :D

Film is only 20 seconds, but with a nice money shot.

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Have been enjoying the massive E building properties of the P-39D this tour.  ;)

Couple of good fights here.   A rather nice 1v1 against a Yak-7 and a 1v2 in the weeds against a P-51 and 190D.

Ty sir.   :cheers:

It really is quite fun to fly, though things don't always work out well for yours truly.  You have first hand evidence of that.   :ahand


Got my 1,000th kill in it today.  WTG me!  :banana:
