just checked my film and...
it is just 1.4MB file showing me sitting in A1(?!) tower for some odd reason
- not really thrilling :(
So this time, no fancy pictures and such. Really sorry about this.
I have formed an investigation commitee to find those responsible for the boring
film and bring them to justice :)
this is from memory (maybe I'll draw pics instead of snapshots):
GA
Duvel
Guiness
MadDane
Bozon
Thumper5
Ki-61 ("ki" in hebrew means vomitt... yuk!)
Defend p28
Skipping the Saki drinking ceremony before the flight, we take off and form
at 15k over p28 heading E.
After a couple of min GA spots cons on our 1 oc. We head for them and start
climbing.
The enemy is in 2 formations. being slightly out numbered, GA orders to concentrait
on the northern formation.
They all turn out to be F4u's and we start to turn with them. 2 stay hi and
me & thumper play with them.
The others go low for the jabo and get some hits on port before we fight them
and drive them away.
All I did up till now was to go vertical with one of the high hogs and get 1
flashe on him from d750.
This plane really got poor zoom.
We form again and continue patroling at 16k.
I spot a large formation at our 9 oc above 20k. We start climbing while heading
back to port and get into a furball with lots of f4u's. There where so many
around me that whenever I had a chanse to get a bluebird in my gunsight, another
would come on my 6. I played the E game, breaking away from attacks and climbing
in betwin till i got almost co-E with them, but on one of the passes, one f4u
shot off my aileron.
Being wounded I started diving to get closer to the rest of the vikings. While
in the center of the furball I saw an f4u crossing my 12 at d500 otw down.
Being free for a few sec, I dive after him and get to d300. I ping him twice
and he starts to scissor me.
Missing an aileron it was hard to follow and get guns on him. My odds of surviving
this hell seemed slim so i tried to take him with me before I go. Getting him
to d200 on my 12 but missing the shots due to the poor handeling of the wounded
bird I slow down for one last bet.
Another comes from behind before I get to place the bet and I loose.
Seconds later all Vikings are back in the tower.
We had at least 3 kills betwin us.
Hail Hirohito! We who are about to die salute you! :)
(wrong history, I know...)
here is a Ki-61 pic for you all:
