I took a lot of time looking for the shot to break down both shoulders and would have passed otherwise.
I DO respect that animal above all others - not that this has anything to do w/Jet Kills..
Has anyone mentioned the AD Spad kill in Viet Nam on the Sandy mission?

He never returned to combat.
I have the letters still from the Mustang Pilots association in respect of my enquiries as to who shot him down, I had a painting in mind....but the pilot is unknown. | |

That takes some believing ! | |
