    Can we Puleeeze stick to English as we know it, not as spotty teenagers use?

    Thank you.

    I wouldn’t worry about that, Tim.

    Call it ‘payment of dues’ for being the subject that he was lucky enough to photograph!!

    Any clues as to the origin of this one? Probably German, WW1.

    No contest? Really..??

    The Argie was caught napping, on the ground. No contest there.

    Now, a Chinook with Radar Warning (or not), and a competent crew that spot the Jet early is quite a difficult target to engage, and to destroy. One sure way to ensure a kill is to lob a 1000lb bomb as it passes over, assuming he has the time, the ordnance and can be bothered. Often, on a second pass after acquiring the hell – never a good idea.

    Having done Affil from both ends (FJ and Rotary), on the same day, it is extremely difficult to visually acquire the hell while manoeuvring, and also very easy to fly yourself into the ground by being over enthusiastic!

    Brave chap who tackles a Ch-47 these days; Minigun, M-60’s, chaff, flares, etc…!

    No contest? Possibly….
