lol well I didn't mean to meander that far east but looks like I made up for it. First time at the controls of this hotrod. Curse you, Blind Hans!

Are we onto the Kentucky jokes already?! I thought that's why God made West Virginia, Tennessee, and... Ohio
What do you expect Chris. From what I am told Kentucky is the only state in the union that has Sister listed in the relation status on the marriage certificates!

Over the Briny Turn 3
Lots of close calls on firing but no shots on the first maneuver.
Flash stalls with Zenlizard (at the same level) overlapping but out of ‘Blind Han’ arc.
Camelbeagle misses a shot on Baz by a whisker.
Both Karo7 and Malachi’s Immelmann maneuvers behind their targets come up short because of altitude difference.
Karo7, Baz and Camelbeagle all twisted and turned about with no one gaining a bead on an opponent.
Flash, being the slippery fish that he is, slips right away from zenlizard and keeps far enough to be out of range of Malachi. ‘Blind Hans’ gets off another shot, this time at short range at zenlizard. Smoke trails f
rom zenlizard’s Macchi.
(I was called away by SWMBO, forgot to mark the shot with a half range ruler and place the smoke. Smoke will be seen on the final position photos.)
Camelbeagle takes a sharp right with Karo7 slipping closer and parallel to him.
Baz turns right clipping camelbeagle’s nose.
Flash dives while Sauerkraut climbs. Gangleader147 dives, Malachi and zenlizard are positioned to pounce on Flash if they can catch him. All are our of firing range.
Attachment 298428
The pack of Macchis chasing Flash grows from 1, to 2, to 3.
Final turn 3 positions.
What's that? There is something dangling aloft between the strangely tall fishing poles above the boat. A pair of figures are also scurrying about on the deck.

Error! Error! Hold off on submitting a move. New photo of final position up in a minute.
I had played a dive instead of a climb for Gangleader147. (you'll see in in a photo if you look for it.) Final position photos have been reshot and are now correct.
OK, good to go!

turn 4 submitted
Uh-Oh - it's getting a mite crowded round here !
Had to risk the stall to wrong foot Sam but got away with it this time and Blind Hans gave him something to think about as he passed me by
My guardian angel is still shadowing me, he knows what to do...
Turn 4 in, and off to bed !

Here I was worried about Karo7 shooting up my tail and it was Baz that shoots me! What a world!
Turn 4 moves in!
Nothing is as it seems to be.
Over the Briny Turn 4
Karo7 and Baz turn on camelbeagle but only Baz is in range to fire.
Zenlizard and Sauerkraut dive while Malachi watches as he stalls. Flash slips closer to Zenlizard and
Blind Hans takes a long range shot at the smoking Macchi.
Camelbeagle reverses direction surprising Baz who climbs conveniently into close range.
Karo7, trying to distract camelbeagle, takes in a shot from above into camelbeagle.
The smoke coming from Bas’s Phoenix sprouts flames! Oh the joys of a second smoke.
Zenlizard turns to give chase to Flash and exchanges with Blind Hans.
Karo7 and Baz leave camelbeagle behind. Karo7 worriedly looks over at Baz’s burning plane.
Zenlizard has had enough and turns away from the wrath of Blind Hans.
Malachi completes an over-dive with Sauerkraut viewing the scene from above.
Suddenly Malachi sees tracers coming up at him from the fishing boat. He returns fire, scattering the men on deck. Lovely lil boat.
Final turn 4 positions.
Doh! Nothing is as it seems.
Turn 5 Moves submitted

Does anyone have a rubber ring ?! Turn 5 in..
"He is wise who watches"
How about some duct tape!
Turn 5 in.
Over the Briny Turn 5
Sauerkraut turns left to follow Zenlizard below, also turning left.
Flash turns right having missed his chance to try to grab the package dangling above the fishing boat.
Malachi Turns sharply right beneath Sauerkraut.
Gangleader has the bird’s eye view from high above.
Baz stalls to prepare for an over-dive to douse his flames while Karo7 passes above.
Camelbeagle turns sharply to chase down the pair of Austrians he has been tangling with.
Saurekraut continues turning left while Zenlizard climbs.
Flash and Malachi continue turning right with Gangleader147 above.
Baz puts out the fire with a successful over-dive!
Camelbeagle slowly gains on Karo7 who doesn’t see him below and behind. Oops, if he reads this I guess he'll know. Sorry camelbeagle!
Zenlizard sees Sauerkraut trailing him and turns away while the Phoenix dives closer.
Gangleader147 drops in altitude but is still well above the action below.
Malachi slips away from Flash but not far enough. Blind Hans fires a few rounds up at the flying boat. (I didn't place the range ruler as it was a bit busy)
Final turn 5 positions.
Zenlizard is no longer smoking.
Turn 6 submitted.

Hope you Italian chaps have bailers ready when you touch down... your shoes might be getting wet !
Turn 6 in ...
"He is wise who watches"
Turn 6 moves on their way.
Need to start knocking some Italians down soon. Far too many boats with delusions of grandeur flying round here.
Let's make some flying submarines!
