...you may not be able to reply but I just wanted to send a for your reversal in the 262 tonight.  I was annoyed with myself when you shot me down so I jumped out to check the film to see what you did to reverse so quickly.

Learnt something: gotta be snappier on my reversals when you're around.  Pity it cost me a 262 to learn it lol.  Oh well, plenty more perkies to burn.  :)

I was trailing Fester at about 2k, co-e, both of us in 262s.  He was running for friendlies so I thought "blow it, he can go".  I then did a lazy immelman.  As soon as I started to reverse, Fester did a tight immelman, leaving him about 3000ft lower but with about 100mph more speed.  I looked back and saw him at less than 1k after I completed my reversal and though "how the heck did he do that"?  I spiralled down and started a rolling scissors but Fester got in a single ping on a snapshot and the 30mm did the rest of the talking.  I had to view the film to work out how he'd done it...  Like I said, learnt it the hard way.
