Had some of the toughest fights in the CT arena today. Flying around in my P47D11 and along comes Naso in a G10. I think we evened out the day as a tie, 2 and 2, but one of those I was in a tempest. We had a fight that lasted for 25 minutes. Starting at 15K, about 5 min's into it we were down to 10K, then a little later 5K, then finishing out on the deck. We had so many reversals it was amazing, and at the last we were doing both of us about 120 mi. an hour stall fighting in a scissors about 10 ft. off the ground. It was a wonder neither one of us crashed. I was on the defensive mostly, with Naso winning the higher ground early on in the fight, but I tried not to give him a clear 6 shot when i could. I got lucky in the end, he ran out of cannon, and I got a snapshot which wounded his pilot. However, he had nailed me a bunch with MG's. Lucky the P47 is a tough bird. Later in another fight he nailed my wing, tried to rtb it but crashed on landing, but as he was already ded from another con, he didnt get the kill. I gave him credit though.
Unfortunately, we were so busy tangling with the other, we forgot to film the 25 min. escapade. It would have made a good show.
It really shows how fun a fight can get when 2 pilots of roughly equal skill play to their plane's strengths and try not to make a mistake.
