Definately a pretty picture , but don't get too attached to the Fulmar. I think we all see what's going to happen in the next couple of minutes![:D]

Indeed, the 109 a long ways from home and involved in gas guzzling maneuvers runs out of gas. [8|]

I suspect he can hang in there for a minute or two. And from the position he's in, that's all it's going to take.

The Fulmar in this picture is 4F. Which was the old US draft code for "Unfit for military service".Kind of ironic. [:D]

[Mynok]

Could the Fulmar even do a Split-S? Cause that's about its only way out of that one.

Joke removed as it was beating a dead horse.

Steve,

Don't say that about the Fulmar there are a number of FAA aces that scored half or more of thier initial kills in the Fulmar a few even mixing it up with the Me109's or some of the hot rods Italian fighters, let alone some of those bombers.
Just like there is a USCG pilot (Lt. Casey Quinn USCG Aviator) who scored a kill against a NVAF MiG in Vietnam war while flying a C-130, it isn't the plane but the pilot.

With all due respect, great pilots don't let a plane with superior speed and manuevability get on their six!. And Fulmar rear seaters don't have defensive swivel machine guns. If this were a Defiant , I might agree with you, but from the looks of the painting, your pilot (and his backseater) are about to get turned into hamburger. [:D]

What would Tom Cruze do in this situation?

while saying....."So long pal.....your GOOSE is cooked......" [:D]


wait a minute......this is TOM CRUIZE.....he'd put Marsialles to shame and whip that Fulmar around and immediately saw the tail off that 109. Then he'd go buzz the nearest control tower.

All before breakfest. You know Elf is jelous(tm)
