That's a good training program. These days most dudes get their first 1v1
dissimilar as a Hornet vs. Hornet.

Your third ever 1v1 against a VF-126 A-4E/F...and you won? Must have been such
that the A-4 was 'hands tied' somehow via the brief.


Depends on the set-up and/or the "bogey charm."

If it's a visual setup, like a mile abeam, 350 kts, tough to beat the
'Dog'...or maybe it was Donk flyin??

Donk Ryan?
