The blast from the bombers engines seems to have lifted the fighter's wing or ...... the two pilots lived in Bangalore and used to driver around here before their new jobs (or old ones now perhaps).

On ground, fighter aircraft is docile, more like girl friends, in air they are more ferocious, more like wives.

(For want of a better analogy)

Fighter shoots down a Bomber and not reverse is generally not true

In reply to Reply #2,
There is one famous instance in history, where a search and rescue craft (mind you not even a bomber) fought off not one or two but eight armed to thier teeths fighter to a record of 6 of the attackers shot down.
Just search for Sunderland Vs Ju 88

in Vietnam VCs (;D) brought down attack heptrs with stones, those are undoubtedly exceptional acts of heroism, not taking away the credit from them, happens once in a while
