That the fighter nearly had a mid-air from overtaking shows how slow the rocket plane was moving.<br /><br />I would suspect the jet was also on his way back to base, as he was too low for a bomber attack profile. Probably lost an engine due to throttle movement at low rpm's. Dead meat in that situation, as restarting was problematical. Head in the cockpit doing that would just compound his situation. <br />Low and slow and short on fuel was where most of them were lost.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-53058598761901232752014-08-23T13:48:06.745-05:002014-08-23T13:48:06.745-05:00Yep, couple of target fixations there...
