    Hope Oleg saw it!

    The 4 Bf-109 vs 3 P-51 dogfight was a real eye opener.
    Those P-51Bs out turned the Bf-109s in a sustained turn
    and out climbed them.

    Also, Col Bud Anderson got into a one on one
    with an obvious "experten".
    Equally obvious, Bud is an American experten.

    Bud out climbed, out maneuvered and out turned the 109.

    Bud Anderson got two confirmed 109 kills on that sortie.

    The problem with anecdotal evidence is:
    1.We don’t know the condition of each aircraft
    2.We don’t know the condition of each pilot
    3.We don’t know the energy state of each aircraft prior to the engagement
    4.In combat, pilots report seeing one thing when in fact the exact opposite is true.
    5.Controlled recorded tests performed by seasoned test pilots are by far more accurate and objective than combat reports when we’re considering A. How fast will an aircraft go. B. How well does it turn. C. How well does it climb.

    The USAF just plain ol' owned.
    And there's no way I am biased.
    It's pure fact.
