Jualbo,
Thank you for your two posts. Very interesting.
One of the things I find hardest to remember is the time line of everything. What actually happens very quickly in real time seems to take for ever when you are actually in combat.
I would say that I saw the Mirage V passing just ahead and below me as I passed through a heading of about south and saw Raul's Mirage impacting the ground out of the corner of my eye. He was going very fast and possibly in AB. I may even have got an IR lock with my remaining sidewinder but I cannot confirm this. I definitely remember looking at the range and knowing instinctively that he was out of missile range and opening rapidly.
So, I think it unlikely that Raul would have landed and seen my target passing over him although the location would have been perfect and I may very well have got the timing slightly wrong in my head.
Best regards
