    Very nice! I just watched something on a Thunderbolt they brought up as well. Very interesting!

    My old login doesnt work anymore so I created a new one anways, The pictures are great quality. I noticed that the front window isnt smashed yet the blades are bent. How strong was that glass? Was the front window on that plane bullet proof?

    "This remarkable project will return a legendary Focke-Wulf FW 190 F-8 to the air. Presently, the aircraft is undergoing complete concours restoration to airworthy condition with the correct BMW 801 engine. When the Focke Wulf Fw 190 - White 1 takes to the air, we will be treated to sounds rarely heard since the end of WWII. This is because White 1 will be powered by an original BWM 801 radial engine. There are very few working 801s left today and none are currently flown."

    I noticed that too! Pretty good for the times, I think!
    It's funny, because the canopy on the P47 was completely intact after a hard water landing! They knew how to build things back then!

    YUP! Hey I noticed you have a German dagger as your avatar... I was on Craigs list the other day and this girl was selling an Original Waffen SS dagger in Mint condition for $2000,, That sounded like a lot do you agree?

    Unfortunately I wouldn't know! Not that up on the prices of that stuff. Sorry! But actually my avatar is the sword and antlers insignia of the Dutch Resistance!

    What was your old login? Would you like this and the old one combined? Which name do you want to keep?
