Jesus - your pictures (and the WOFF damage model) bring it more to my awareness than anything I read or saw before - how terrible it was to have no parachutes.

Well, we had a discussion some time ago, about the question, what we think a pilot or observer would have done in a flamer: would they have burnt to death - or jumped.
The outcome makes no difference really - when your craft falls from 1000 meters or even more, you fall with it. No chance to survive that with no parachute. So it actually does not matter which way - you are still alive, but already dead.
I for one think, we would always try to escape immediate pain - and so we would jump. You have only seconds of lifetime left. But you wouldn't want to spend them in flames. Free falling, you would think your final thoughts - whatever they are - until you hit the ground.

I think if I wasn't already wounded or incapacitated I'd jump out. And some used their service revolver, or auto as the case may be!

This my thought may appear a bit weird for some of you - I often thought about that 'final fall' - and I always imagine it the same: that my self would possibly clear up from everything useless, unimportant, eager or vain; and that full deep love for the world and life, and for the ones I love, would come up in me so strong that it could make me burst up. No - I wouldn't shoot myself. I would savour every one of my last seconds. The end is inevitable. For all of us.

Not if your burning on the way down you wont..the only thing going on in your head would be pain and fear.

ArisFuser I really like the composition and colours on your last post. Nice angles of both aircraft, and I always think pushers look interesting.

The final offensive has begun! Will my longest lived WOFFer survive? Lovely shot!
The older I get, the more I realize I don't need to be Han, Luke or Leia. I'm just happy to be rebel scum...
