How would you say the intentions though?

"Too close for missiles...switching to guns."

I had that happen to me one day I was #3 in a 3-ship returning. #2 went
around to clear #1, while an Apache was waiting in the runup area.

Just as I was about to turn short base-to-final, the Apache took the
runway. I radioed, "Apache, what are you doing?" Apache: "Taking off."

I was tempted to slip down and stick my wingtip in his lap but put
discretion ahead of valor.

As I cleaned up and slid to the right of the runway, I noticed that, not
only had the Apache pilot taken the runway without making sure of clear
traffic, but he apparently had full flaps and an open door. Somehow, he
managed to close the door on the takeoff roll and gain flight.

I later talked to the owner, who said that there apparently was a rogue
instructor who was selling lessons in the plane without permission.

looking back, I am glad I DIDN'T stick my wingtip in his lap, because he
apparently had his hands full enough already.
