Aerial battle over Al'Aranak

I was testing and I got shot down by a totally illegal nuclear thingy.
I decided to watch my wingman who managed to fire his two S-24 and was chased by two old F-86s.
And then...

That's science : you don't get what you expect.

I was testing. This time I was ok, flying as low as possible and trying to save fuel while heading straight to friendly shore.

We got chased by a pair of F-103s and two flights of F-86s.
As I got even lower above the sea, my wingman gained few hundreds meters and that's when the F-86s got his tail.

The leader emptied his rockets tray

...without really checking who he was shooting at
(they said : two bandits heading east, low)

The F-103s chased us until we reached home base. And while I was trying to get them out of the landing pattern, my wingman totally missed his approach.
I had to send him to WP9 and he landed well after me. But before the F-103s.

That's science : you don't get what you expect.

I like so much this kind of aircrafts : F-86D, F-101B, F-106A, CF-100, F-103... When they're airborne you know something crazy is about to happen.
Just follow them and they will often give you spectacular screenshots.

The F-86D is edited, it uses the same Mk4 Mighty Mouse rockets as the Canuck FAW.4
