Matt - you better take an all day lunch if you want the Cape with an M-14.. it's a toss up and I'm bettin on the 'boy'. I have only shot two - one with a 375 and one with a 416 Rigby.
I took a lot of time looking for the shot to break down both shoulders and would have passed otherwise.
I DO respect that animal above all others - not that this has anything to do w/Jet Kills..
Has anyone mentioned the AD Spad kill in Viet Nam on the Sandy mission?
Regards,
Bill

that figures - I've never looked at Cape Buffalo as a creature of grace and subtlety... i mostlly look at it as something to kill or leave strictly alone... and hope it doesn't get me first..

Go to the beginning of this thread, you'll see this and them some....

General Galland was one of those who was in an ME 262 and got shot down by a Mustang, 'I was caught napping' he said in his autobiography, that was in April 1945, he had an engine destroyed and a leg wound, but got his aircraft home on one damaged engine, so am I using some license to say he was shot down? He never returned to combat.
I have the letters still from the Mustang Pilots association in respect of my enquiries as to who shot him down, I had a painting in mind....but the pilot is unknown.

somewhere buried in the text is the total, and yes I have dates. I am still trying to follow primarily the Us participation but maybe we could do a sub-link guys and list RAF kills/probables on this ??
"The only air to air kill by a Brit. pilot in a Brit. aircraft in the Korean War" ?
That takes some believing !

Well it seems that's the truth. I don't know of any RAF exchange pilots who flew F-86s who got a Mig although there may be one...

Whatever....this was the first Jet Victim of the Royal Navy . It first came to my attention when I saw an oil painting of it in a West London gallery.

Referring to the "discussion" about Chuck Yeager I was wondering if any of you knew Marion Carl and would care to compare his demeanor with Yeager's. Carl's list of accomplishments compare pretty well with Yeager's.

Speaking of Cape Buffalo, I saw the most incredible video I have ever seen on CNN a while ago. It featured a herd of Cape Buffalo(which of course the tv guy called water buffalo) a pride of lionesses, a crocodile and the victim, a young Cape Buffalo. Has anyone else seen it?

I heard stories about Carl being a bit gruff, but I don't think anyone could compare with Yeager...
