Did that with a Lightning in a Vulcan. He agreed to play Ruski and we would execute our secret plan. He set up for a 180 and we went down the throat. He did a fake turn once he passed underneath but we had him in the periscope. Moments later we were down his throat again but before we could execute the next turn he called knock it off.
