Every good fighter starts with a gun, looks good.

I almost spilled green tea over my KB... so, aerial warfare made full circle... I'd recommend keeping few granades at hand just in case :yikes:

A real hunter in the heart can do with whatever he has. The first airmen of WW1 used to throw bricks or rusted chains on the cockpits of the enemy planes they flew over, or to let barbed wire hanging below to scratch the wings of canvas aircraft. Alexander Kazakov got his first kill by ripping the wings of an enemy Albatross with a hanging anchor (but missed by few to be driven down to the ground by his victim!). During WW2, following Heinz Knoke's example, German pilots used to maul the tight formations of heavy bombers by flying over them and throwing bombs with a short delay, with some noticeable results during the first tries. During the Campaign of Belgium, May 1940, there was a weird occasion when a Belgian Fairey Battle was pursued for a while by a German Dornier 17 thinking himself a fighter, and driven down by the frontal MG 17 fire.
