So David will appreciate this.
Tuesday: We were flying (virtually) cover for the kids in their Liberators and we were in the Corsair and I was flying wing for my buddy. We were stacked and were going head to head with a flight of Ki44 and a closing rate over 500kts. As he got close he flew through our converged fire and the fireball went between us. Had that been real, both planes would have been covered in soot and two pilots would have needed new undies.
I love the Corsair. He did too, right up to the point he accidentally spun. You don't recover from a spin in a bent winged bird.
