- A couple of days ago (during a campaign mission) I was coming home and
- ran into a MiG-29 about 15 miles from my base, after turning with him
- for 10 minutes my wingman (who wouldn't engage!) said "Fuel is critical" -
- uh oh! I hadn't heard that one before - I'd better go. So I extended
- (when I could) and got away (I had to make a dead stick - *loads* of
- fun!). I KNOW I saw him heading out in the other direction - and the
- ONLY time I put a bullet into him was half-way into the fight, yet
- I got credit for the kill. I guess F.3 confused "damaged" with
- "destroyed" - ohwell, I'm not gonna complain. :>
