I recently heard the story/rumour of the dog-fighting UAS studes...
When going out to the local area for GH solo's, two UAS students (Unknown Squadron) used to arrange to meet up and simulate dog-fights, switching to an unused frequency to let each other know when they had been 'shot down'.
One day, one of the studes was out in the local area on another GH trip and, spotting a lonely squadron aircraft (Bulldog/Tutor?!), bore down on it to 'engage' it. On settling behind the other aircraft, he thumbed the comm switch and uttered a loud "dagadagadagadaga......"
Unfortunately, it was not his friend who he had 'engaged' but the Squadron Boss who ordered him to vector straight back to the airfield and RV in his office in half an hour.
When asked, "What the
were you playing at out there Bloggs?"
He replied, "Well Sir, I realised I was too close for missiles, so I switched to guns."
Does anyone know if this story is true? And if so what happened to the stude in question?!!
