if you could dogfight anyone in the past or present who would it be?

[Soviet Ace]

I'm surprised that no one has asked the question, about what skill level we'd be at? Would we be rookies, or already be veterans, or would we be some high scoring ace ourselves; in both later cases, it would be like Ace v. Ace, and you wouldn't have to really worry too much because you'd both know your plane well enough.

Anyway over thinking time over, my Ace would have to be: Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub aka "Ivan the Terrible". Highest scoring Soviet Ace of WW2.
