Siggi Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Just had a scramble mission, my usual tactic of staying low and flying clear didn't work this time and I copped a few rounds in the engine from an Alb. I was back on the field within three minutes of taking off. But then I had five kills come in confirmed (making six in total) and a medal too! I figure I can coast now. What are they going to do, court-martial me for cowardice? Quote
+Olham Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Had an incredible fight yesterday; our 4 Albatros DIII against 5 brandnew S.E.5a. I managed not only, to stay alive (with a few holes in my plane), but downed 3 of them. My wings killed the other two, but got all killed in action. Now, I came home, but didn't get a claim report - of course not; I had no witnesses... That' life, Siggi. (But I KNOW, I'm a heroe - Lol!!!) Quote
