Evening all, new member, first post.
The following was written by ex-Lightning driver Chris Allan about 1v1 ACM with a Belgian AF 349 Sqn F-16A flown by Capt. De Vos Herman......After 5 - 6 minutes in full 'burner (I'd just refuelled), pulling and pushing into +6/-2G manouevres, I allowed myself the thought that I was doing better than OK against Herman's high tech American hot rod. Then it happened. Herman suddenly zocked into my six, taking enough film for a couple of Hollwood movies.
Back on the ground, I asked 'Fox' (Herman's nickname) 'What did you do?-I mean, you came from nowhere.'
Fox replied, 'Oh, I was finding it a bit difficult so I used my afterburner......'
Oof, squire....
Regards, RP
