Here's my most memorable moment..

CTA, I'm in a spit chashing down an IL-10 who's trying to land. I misjudged the speed he was going and as I was filling him full of lead I realised I was going to crash into him (he's about 20 feet off the ground at this point) As he exploded in a ball of flames I somehow managed to squeeze underneath him scraping the belly of my plane on the ground and then bounced veritcally straight back up in the air like a skateborder on a half pipe only to have one of my team mates fly straight through one of my wings which resulted in me spinning around, nose straight up and minus a wing before i sank tail first into the runway... It was one of those "no.. oohh..yes.. yes.. oh.. bugger" moments, and sticks in my mind.

Well due to the thrustmaster breaking bug I use my guns to stop on the runway in CTA. I found that when at a halt if you keep firing you start reversing. This makes for a slightly harder target on the deck for strafers. On one occasion some guy was coming at a low 12 o clock strafe. I was firing my guns for a reverse move and he flew right into the gunfire. So my first kill from the ground....in reverse

hey, does that stop the plane from pitching forward too?

I was trying out the Po in training and, while landing, bit a bump at the last minute that flipped the plane up onto its front, prop facing the ground. It stopped dead and stayed like that. No amount of spinning the prop or firing off the rear gun would budge it. In the end I had to bail out, about ten feet from the ground. I was treated to the sounds of my pilot screaming and a huge explosion!
