Whilst waiting for my systems to align I have a peek at the other a/c. What's he firing at? I wondered.
Ah, the poor Kiowa. Which despite the myriad holes and missing airframe still made it home okay - why do I not?
Anyway, caught up with the two Hinds, and got them both with guns.
Before promptly crashing.
Off I go again, just as Arclight's approaching for his usual spot-on landing.
Magic mirrors, can see through cloud.
Hands up those who think they know how long this a/c continued flying for?
Correct - not long at all.
Hawk2495 refuelling
The end of a long and fruitful day, no damage other than my jetisoned canopy, not even a parking dent this week.
Obviously we weren't going again and I couldn't be bothered to wait for the ladder to extend.
Arclight not overly chuffed that I've just wrecked my a/c so close to his - his poor crew chief has only just recovered from repairing it after my ultra-low fly-by the other week scraped the paintwork!
From my point of view a very good night, only one a/c lost, no hung stores, didn't run out of fuel.
Things are looking up.
