Hi guys!

 

I'm just wondering... I had to bail out a few time after being shoot down. Logically, I was captured above egypt.

But, one a few occasions, I bailed out above israel and I was... captured! On the first days of the 1973 war, when the front line is wayyyyyyy far.

 

Isn't there here a problem?

I was literaly shot down over my own airbase and was lited as MIA. Whats the deal?

not every ejection in real life is successful you know ...

But being "captured" over own field is strange. Do Arabs have special net-planes to catch ejected pilots?

I concurr. No problem about the randomness of viable ejection. But being capturated while bailing out over Israel, just like I've been beamed into some Egyptian jail is nonsense.

Depends if MIA always means captured - or dead in a river after bailing out

And MIA do not mean you're captured by the enemy, just that you were never found dead or alive :biggrin:
