You would have won on the first plane I flew though.



My first flight was a 1 v 1 in the QMB with me in a Hawk 75 A3 in French livery, vs. a Bf 109 E4. It was a very interesting fight. Subjectively the Hawk does not appear to be very fast if you just fly it straight and level, but, it is a VERY dynamic airframe in the combat mode. It's high roll rate (historical) gives you many options, and add the fact that it turns quite well indeed and can be dived well and it is a very satisfying plane to fight in. I managed to get a good defection shot on the 109's radiators, and it was all downhill for him after that.
