JUST SHOOT THE BUGGER DOWN! :roll:
LOL, so true, the one about Randall Cunningham in the F-4J Showtime 100 taking on an ace of the NVAF in his Mig-17 is an EPIC dogfight tho. Vertical Siccors is a crazy way to fight a bad guy, and the thrust to weight ratio of those aircraft made it possible. Really good episode that one is, if you haven't seen it and get the chance, I highly recommend it!
To bad Duke "here is my bribe list" Cunningham's idea of the government came out of the Gilded Age. Considering how ethically challenged Cunningham is how serious do you want to take his claims of shooting down a Vietnamese fighter ace?

When that ace never existed.
