Loitering with intent

Hi all

 

I found a Fokker Triplane loitering with intent on our side of the mud on the Jasta 5 Flugpark. This video was uploaded with the kind permission of the Dr1 driver.

 

 

cheers

I admired the Dr1 pilots serene obliviousness to what was going on. His total lack of skill was evident... Yes it was me, if I recall correctly I was still trying to decide if it was a near miss from flack or if I was under attack. It was down hill from there, literally. The coup de grace was brilliant.

When you initially attack I love the way you keep looped back (I am sure there is a proper name for this in pilot jargon) until you are onto my tail as you reduced speed in your dive. You learn something every day as when I am flying the Camel I normal damage my engine dropping that much altitude. :)
