MiGMan's Combat Diary | Those Tupolev Tu-16 ‘Badger’ 's are deadly shots with the tail gun. I was shot to pieces several times before I managed to nail one. At least the MiG-19's which turn up only have forward facing cannon! Finally, after disposing of the Tupelov's and MiG I headed home on 'warp drive' - and about 105 miles from home ran out of gas! Fortunately I was 3 miles out from an airstrip and managed to 'dead stick' it in.> A fun mission. |
