Short night for -dazed. Here's a great video on how make a completely stupid pass on a bomb group, followed up by how to collide with a Bf-109. I may be pushing a pencil at HQ for a while after this performance is reviewed by 475th command.

Ha Jlord...that second video was a great fight on deck and you cut it off early!! Looked dicey for Juice and Chic, low ammo, no alt and locked into the fight with ? Swanee and friend ? Bad luck there Dazed. What's the deal with all the collisions? wow.... |

I did stop filming too early; Gflyer was one of the spits. Juice got him a minute later and the other spit went back to Malta. Chicdg and Juice both returned to base. I remember Juice commenting at the time how commendable it was for Gflyer to come in and try to help his fellow pilots. |

I'll pass that on Jlord. Myself and Dawger were GCI and told him swanee was in trouble. He elected to try to go save him....said he lost juice maneuvering against the others and paid the price. Collision here as well Oskar....sigh...looked clear from perspective. |

For some reason we have been losing guys left and right breaking off bombers with apparent plenty of room just to blow up. Happened to me 1st frame and this frame ended almost exactly like dazed, just couldn't avoid the 109 streaking across the screen. Action! ceased to function but I'll still be pencil whipping next to dazed. |

Big <S> to gflyer for engaging and clearing my 6. That got real hairy there. Bummed you didn't make it out. Ran outta ammo, then was basically in survival mode. Was able to RTB somehow. <S> also to =weis= and crew for letting me embed with them at the end of the frame. We too got bit by the collision bubble earlier in the frame. Lost a few to collisions with the bombers. Hard to gauge bubble when you have to be in so tight for 303s to be effective. |

Watched that fight on the deck. Real nice flying by everyone involved. Spits worked their high speed turns and 109s keep maneuvering in the vertical. Thought Juice was missing flaps but it didnt seem like he needed them. |

Not bad for a buff pilot. Still it was a fun night and a good plan. |

In dobs video (timestamp 3 seconds) it appears that there is a buff under your nose ? You see a wing edge appear in your gunsight at a very high angle of bank 80 deg for a few frames Its most likely that you collided with something you flew over, not the target buff.
