I’m willing to bet you are a Warbirds veteran!

;-)

Pulled some all-nighters back in the day.

We had a Battle of Britain event one time, I was flying over the cliffs of Dover in a Spitfire MK IX and a few thousand feet below saw a bunch of RAF fighters badgering a Junkers JU88. I turned as I got a certain distance behind him, dove down below and came up vertically below him, guns blazing. I cut him in half.

That was a lot of fun. Ultimately, I needed to get my life back, though...
