Ha Ha you all throught I disappeared. Well, "I'm back" the darn puter was giveing me some problems, and problems with my server. Hopefully, all problems are gone.
Hi again folks,A real neat flight last night up in Northern Germany, in fact, if I would have fallen asleep and woke up I would have swore that we were in Kansas, USA.
Wow, it was real flat landscape. One fair thought we made a low pass over an island where a lot of folks go for their holidays, and the beaches were aligned with all kinds of pretty people and some in those real, real small swimming suit, I guess they are for swimming. Thought hard about landing and do a little swimming myself, but as you know duty comes first. (so they say)
Hey there,As usual, I forgot to take more pictures of last nights flight, but got carried away with all the conversations we were having via the radios. We over flew OSLO and landed at ENKJ which is around 14 miles south of Oslo. Willy and his Focke Wulf were having some problems and missed the flight, but he will catch up shortly. Really enjoyed this flight, great weather and good conversation from all. You sure can't beat that. So long.
Well,here I is again.Bad day! Bad weather set in (real life) me old engine started missing loosing power so I returned to ENBR Bergen for repairs. Flight 19 contintue on to ENVA. My chore is to get the 190A-3 ready and fly like heck to catch up with the group. On my way, after repairs, I was clipping along when the here FW-190A-4 painted green, of all colors, flew along side and gave me the once over. I gave him a high five, and the bloody bugger just peeled off and went home I guess. Not a friendly sort! Pushing the 190 hopping to catch up with Flight 19 before they take off again. So CYA.
I'm back!!! hehe.
Hey, by golly, I caught up with Flight 19 before the next departure to unknown land
of mystery, sounds funny to say, but I don't know any thing about this here land. One thing I do know if this place had sandy beaches I could bet that the ladies wouldn't be wearing bikinis and men wearing those speedo things. Some of these big ditches have granite walls higher than heck, you would need to be half mountain goat to even thing about climbing them! It sure isn't my thing!

Hi there again!Well, here we are with the continuing saga of Flight 19. As you have noticed Flight 19 has upgraded to the German's jets of WWII. Flying the jets we started a EFOU (OULU) to EFHF (Helsinki) from Helsinki we contintued on to UMII (not even going to try to spell the city name). During this flight a couples of us made some dumb mistakes. Myself, hit the wrong button and my external drop tanks DROPPED! Here hopping I don't run out of fuel during the remaining part of the flight. Another pilot hit the wrong button and kill both engines of his 262, but he got her started befor the ground came up to smack him hehe. Needless to say, we need more time in these jet or we may run into some mountain somewhere. And that could be bad.
Good morning SOH Land!Here we go, left UMII (Vitebsk, hehe spelled it this time) for UUEE (sheremetyevo, these names keep up like this, need someone else to spell them). Now for the question of the day: Why in the heck would we be flying German jets into Moscow, seem like a bad idea! Well, any way we did it. No dumb mistake this time with the exception of yours truly, getting low on fuel and one engine quit on final, Got a little hairy, but we kind of landed a little side ways, and it was a pistol trying to taxi with just one engine! Now we need to fuel up and get the heck out of Dodge!
Hehe here I am again.Just some ramdon pictures. One of these pictures it looks like I will be flying with Batman (H-229s). I flew ahead to Ashgabat (UTAA) from Ramsar (OINR) to check out if any of those bad guys from,not going to mention it, would come up and take a few pot shots at us.....But I made thru without any problems. I think!
Hey there!
Hey folks,Here are a few shots of the F-86E that we are driving into Nepal. shucks, Moses forgot to mention that we have been mowing the grass in the last two landing we have made. So far, all aircraft have taking off from the last short grassy runways. Now, this maybe a little different we have some steep hill around VNTR (Tumlingtar). Something is fishie, there are some scrap metal trucks parked near the runway. Huh, interesting.
