Salute Vicar!!
It was a fun match. Se5a's are kind of like trucks. Today was my day, the next may well be yours. Waldo wins 2
Re: Waldo P challenges Vicar!
Very well flown, sir!
Like trucks, indeed...but I flew mine more like a zamboni!
I have to share the opening of the fight with all of you...
Waldo and I passed at 6 K ft and saluted. I put my nose down for just a moment to gain some speed (I thought), and then pulled back on the stick. Waldo had of course begun a loop without first nosing down, and it put him well ahead in the loop. We met with both of us inverted, and with the first (and I think only) burst of the fight, he disabled my left aileron but good, and it was all over! I eventually wound my way down to a heap on the grass next to the aerodrome. My rigger had a good laugh.
Excellent flying, excellent shooting, and brilliant ammunition conservation!
