Sees the target...I suspect you may be right, Tuna. Sees the target start lurching out of control, maybe on fire and it starts descending. Rather than move his aircraft, reposition, check six, and or leave, he stays in virtually the same position to watch and confirm its destruction. Thus he's in a stable, predictable, position where the observer can take a well aimed shot at him.<br />That mistake was beaten out of me very early in my career. Verbally of course but with video evidence to back up how big that mistake is. Watching the video of a pipper on the canopy of your aircraft frame by frame for 5 seconds total time, or 500 rounds, can take some of the cockiness out of a young fighter pilot. juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-21418568922583232172019-01-14T15:28:03.322-08:002019-01-14T15:28:03.322-08:00Hahaha!
