You must have strolled through the same flak trap that I did in the Jug LOL.

Lol, there definitely was not one tonight!

I couldn’t even get out of the plane this time.

Reacted too late to keep from being shot down.

I have finally took the Swallow for a joyride. It’s quite a beast.

Fourth screen down is my favorite. Of course the third one down is really running close as well.

Another mission during Operation Market Garden.

For this sortie we were assigned to bomb enemy troops concentration not far from Eindhoven.

After uninterrupted bomb run I had some fun on the way back.

After landing I noticed we were tailed by 3 RAF Spitfires. My both wingmen still in the air, I decided to get back up since I still had full load of 30mm for my MK108s. Some Fw-190s joined the fun and after few minutes of tangling above my home field Brits turned tail. Unlucky for them the Swallow is a speedy beast. I sneaked on this guy from below, firing from 150m one short burst.

The result was devastating. The shells ripped the wing clean off, and the Spit rolled to its doom.

The pilot didn’t even tried to bail out, was probably already dead when I passed him.

After succesfull ground strike and air duel I headed back to base.

On final, gear down.

Was flying on the “Combat Box” server a couple of weeks ago in my trusty P-51 and just after a successful bomb run while I was turning off the target I thought I was hit by flak until I watched the track.
The horror!

Beautiful screens! Can you believe it but I only just learned how to get this darn German jet started last night.

Decided to practice a bit in the Me-262 myself. Figured I try bombing a bridge with no defenses.

She was heavy taking off with a full load of fuel and a bomb underneath. Still, once I got her up to speed I had some fun weaving in and out of the clouds.
