Flight Report:	Planned pilots: FLYdude and Sparky vs. Wolfman. Actual: FLYdude vs. Wolfman, with Sparky enjoying the scenery. Flight lasted just under one hour. FLYdude had 5 kills with 2 deaths; Wolfman had 4 kills with 7 deaths; Sparky had 1 kill with 4 deaths. Judging from what is known, the following conclusions can be made: FLYdude killed Wolfman 5 times. Sparky killed Wolfman 1 times. 1 Wolfman death unacounted for. Wolfman killed FLYdude 2 times. Wolfman killed Sparky 2 times. FLYdude killed Sparky 1 times. Sparky crashed 1 times. This may not be accurate, but it is my best prediction. The flight was conducted with FLYdude and Sparky in F-15Cs and Wolf in F-16C. All aircraft with 2 AIM-120B and 2 AIM-9M. Out of FLYdude's 5 kills, 4 were with the AIM-120B, and one with AIM-9M. No team tactics were utilized thanks to Sparky. Wolf claims he did poorly because he fought 2 aircraft, but Sparky was effectively a non- combatant. NOTE: The blue on blue incident was entirly caused by Sparky. Sparky broke SOP by not responding with a buddy spike call after FLYdude had a lock. Due to a temporary loss of SA, FLYdude had reason to believe he was engaging an enemy. This blue on blue incident could have been easily prevented if all participants followed procedures.
