Ouucchh! I bet the Tonka pilots got the p*ss ripped out of them when they got back to base! They'll never live that down. Snigger* snigger* heheXD
Well for the Tucano pilot

A kill's a kill!
As the Hawk driver realised when I got inside his turn and tracked him quite nicely......from one of HM's mighty Bulldogs.

Ahmmm No, I'm not, I'm not involved with any air training corps, or any military for that matter. I'm just a military aircraft fan I'm affraid. Maybe in the next life. =)
Are you? May I ask? =)

Hmmm,
as with any 'Guns' kill........ it's not (Unless it's a real one), until a QWI or qualified instructor has reviewed the tape on the ground....... (Red Flag.... no tape, no kill?)
I hope Tuc Boy kept his tapes........... Otherwise, it's just 'aggressive pointing'!!!
Good Skills for trying....... next time don't waste radio time tho

Sharpen up, Soddim! Beags has already said he nabbed the Hawk from his Bulldog, whilst impressing the hell out of the young grad at UAS, no doubt!! 
Of course, that's now an excuse for Beags to regale us all with other derring do from the mighty FunBus!

Well actually, since you mentioned the FunBus......
OK then, I won't. Wouldn't do to embarrass the defenders of the Malvinas with tales of certain target runs on an 8/8 blue day some years ago.
And it isn't really a kill until some QWI has anguished over the images with his scoring jobber and murmured comments like "Range...track...range...track...out of range!"
EOSM37, use the knife drawer, I would suggest!
Now, about the many times on Vulcans.....OK, OK - enough's enough!
