I have to say, I've had my moments with the telegraph poles. I have an ACMI of myself getting greedy during egress from target (isn't that the start of all bad situations in F4?) chasing down a MiG-29 with the last Amraam on my wing breathing hot and heavy for just one more kill (I like to remove High threat aircraft from the sky whenever possible - saves your own boys by taking these dangerous threats out). I probably went 50 miles off course to catch him. I wandered into SAM alley going after him (He baited me there - I know it). Anyway, volley after volley after volley was fired at me. 7 in total, and I tell you, I was so out of energy by the last SAM that I was barely missed by the skin of my teeth by an SA-2. I had no idea how close till I reviewed the ACMI after the flight. I need to find that file! Anyway, yes, I've had many good memories (and some bad ones) dodging SAM's.

PS. In the end - I got my MiG!
