I ended up in Hogs...one day we were playing around with the Coon Ass Eagle guys, and a young'un jumped me. Nothing stays inside a Hog break and when it's at low altitude, we can hold our energy better than most think.

Certainly better than he thought. First he tried to kill his overtake, then realizing he was going to overshoot anyway, he went vertical.

I know he had drank the Kool Aid that says a Hog can't go up...and so as I went across the top with a face full of Eagle in full burner going nowhere fast, I let go with a "Boy's, it don't get any better than this!".

It got a laugh or two in the debrief!!
