B-29 Takedown By this time our closure rate was I guess... 300 plus 300 equals 600 knots. Now at 600 knots you will cover 1,000 feet in... ummm.... not very long! So, yes, you guessed it.... I had a head on collision, or should I say we had a head on collision. I wasn't too discouraged by though as at least I'd found some action! Attempt number 5 had me determined to mix it up with those Sabres. No mid-airs this time no sirreee! I had a plan. I would fly low and they'd be silhouetted against the fading light. So I bored in at about 500 feet. There they were... he he he ... I reefed the MiG into a climbing turn and swung into the nearest Sabre... ... ... ... ... and watched in dismay as they flew, one by one, into the ground... ! Man oh man! So there I was at 2,000 feet with 4 ex-Sabres and a gaggle of B-29's about 4 miles above. Damn the B-29's, I was going home. I turned North East and after a few minutes picked up another waypoint - pretty close too - about 12 miles. Next thing I picked up two bogeys.. F-51 Mustangs! They didn't seem suicidal - on the contrary they swung into the attack and the fight was on. This was more like it! Turn and burn - yank and bank - I'm lining up for a shot and thud thud thud thud... Mustang no.2 has got me. The controls went limp and I was so stunned I don't even think to bail out. Not to worry - I'd be back another day for those Mustangs. |
