That's me, I remember opening my canopy and airbrakes (more on them later) as I passed you.


Lined up with Raptor01, brakes released.


Along the North bank of that river, targets, thousands of them.


Turns out I was the target. Engine fire, fuel to that engine was cut and extinguisher discharged to no effect, even cutting off the fuel (rather than just pulling the handle) had no effect on the flames. Once I'd established a safe airspeed and got to grips with the asymetry I found and circled Spike88 in his Ka-50, suprising him with my flame-grilled, smokey display.

Then I grew up and decided to head for home.


With the LMFCD out, and me not entirely (at all) au fait with moving things to the right, I headed down the coast and turned in towards our old base knowing that our new home was roughly inline eastwards!


It's out there somewhere, the HASs are better camoflaged than I was used though!


Got it!


Nearly down. Once there I didn't seem to be slowing as much as I should.

Then Seaniam81 reminded me I had airbrakes


Too late though! At least I was able to climb out ...


...but only after I'd sat there thinking how awesome I am.
