During WWII a student pilot on his final checkout and his instructor (a 2-ship) were just finishing their detail when the instructor saw 4 Zero's diving out of the sun at them. He ordered the student to hit the deck and get out of there. The stident, being rather full of himself, decided to take these bandits on. He used all the tricks and techniques he had been taught and actually shot down all four!!
Bu this time he was lost and started a search pattern for his ship. Just at the end of his fuel endurance he spotted his carrier on the horizon. After he landed he jumped down to the deck and shouted: HEY GUYS I HAVE JUST SHOT DOWN FOUR ZEROS". The landing deck officer smiled and said " ah yes buta you made wun small mishtake".
