The book has been spoken for. SOrry, Wels, I would have sent to you rather than not share it

I certainly hope Paul and Sophie meet again--in the meantime, the war will rage on. Another fine chapter, Lou

My application is in the works. Looking forward to trying this out again. Before the HITR era, I tried the a number of times to get on line and was not successfull. I fly FSX on line with another group so hoping it works this time

I just went and bought a spare CFS3 from Ebay. Usually less than $15.00, sometimes less than $10.00

What a beautiful and peaceful place. Do you need a gardener? yard maintenance worker?

Catch lots of fish Simon. And take some pictures

Maybe it was on my end, but don't think so. But when watching on the metacafe site - it would stop and start, stop and start. I think their server or site was slow and not up to par??? Quality, I couldn't see a difference actually

The C-130Cargo Plane that these guys fly is also known in the military as the Archangel, you can see why at the end of this music video when it is deploying Anti Missile Flares... Awesome sight to watch, as if God himself sent an Angel down to protect the plane! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgkxiqKj0nU&feature=player_embedded

Olham, what Jasta and time are you flying in? I've been thinking of starting a career early in the war and with the scout. I might as well see if I can spot you

A beautiful area Lou. I've camped in Medora a few times and the last time took in the musical for the first time. Don't know why I always had passed it up, but it was a great show. Be careful of them Buffalo

A superb video. Great script, its as if you are really there. WOW

FUNNY!!!!

Hellshades. Here is my night video of fighting I posted a day or two ago. I did use labels and tac for a while, but with the moon light it really wasn't needed. But, in QC, i had my enemy set to rookie status so I could stay in the air. . Please excuse the short sequence with the labels, but FLYING AT NIGHT is another story; Everyone should give this a try on a summer night. Check it out here: It is all about flying during dusk and darkness:

I'll be that did scare the hell out of you when that plane exploded right in front of you

Thanks, Hellshade.. I thought it wouldn't take long for someone to notice I had bombed my own airfield. Of course it was just practice, right? Thank your for your compliment and Ii too being new at this am very disapointed at the quality that we lose once it goes thru the movie maker . I use that one also. I did pause and saw the DR1 and it was a great view. LOU-- I'll look for your bombing mission in the future. And I just finished this one just hours ago and am very happy with it. Please excuse the short sequence with the labels, but FLYING AT NIGHT is another story; Everyone should give this a try on a summer night.

Here is my first attempt at a video. I don't have the full version of Fraps, so its a little difficult keeping the scenes smooth. Of interest is the last portion where there are some scenes with bombers. It would be fun to have a nice video or two of some bombing missions. Anyone up for that?

Today, i was able to get into some real life flying in an old New Standard D-25 and then I also took a flight in a 1926 Travel Air 400. These and about 15 other planes (mostly vintage) are part of the American Barnstormer tour. What a treat to get into the skies for a heck of a ride. In the first ride, about 15 of these old relics took off and flew around Alexandria, MN following each other and having the wind blow in our face. I even ahad a splat of oil land on my camera lens. If anyone is interested I did a video and it is here: Now this video is not nearly as well done as videos of some of these same planes on You Tube, but it still was a thirll. The American Barnstormer tour info can be found here: http://www.americanbarnstormerstour.com/ I also took many pics of these planes, otheres were Fairchilds, Wacos, Stinsons and Stearmans. If anone is intersted, send me a PM and I will send you the link to Photobucket where I have them. There are just too many to put on this location. Now, i must go fly and pretend the wind is blowing in my face

GHunter. For a moment I thought you might be talking about Greg Herrick as I thought he had an attachment not too many years ago out in that area. He has a wonderful collection of aircraft (not any WW1 aircraft-at least flying) but an amazing collection. His Ford Trimotor is one of the most famous still flying, along with a one of a kind Stinson Tri motor if I recall. I took a ride in the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association ) Ford Tri Motor late last summer from the location of where his museum is located. This same Ford Trimotor will be at the Oshkosh airshow each year (it is based out of there) and I know there was at least one member who mentioned he was going to attend. Lou, Rickitycrate , this is close by to your home, though not open very often. Worth a drive to Blaine if you have a chance. Here is a link which shows some of his famous aircraft in his collecton. It has to be worth considerable millions of dollars. http://www.goldenwingsmuseum.com/

Bullethead, I love reading your posts more than seeing your nice paint. "I feel like I am teaching my grandmother to suck eggs" :lol:

Darn, Lou. Wew could have met, and had one of those "Cuppas" you often refer too. Here is the link to thel photos at the Barnstormer show. Go to the "Barnstormer" Album, but don't let the first picture of the toilet and sink fool you. That is taken from the rear of the Travel Air 6000. http://s284.photobucket.com/home/dane48/index I was planning on going to the Oshkosh Air show, but won't make it as planned. So, feeling good that I was able to make this. They had where you could go into the air in a Stearman trainer, and have control of the plane for a while. The cost and the fact you probably would have only done a few slight turns and not have a chance to dive and do Immelmans didn't appeal to me. After all our flying in OFF, we certainly wouldn't be satisfied with taking a level and slow flight, now would we?

That was SWEET, Lou. Thanks much

Thanks Olham, I think Ii will have to start a career for Leutnant Ehlers inm Jasta 13. Though with so many hours behind the Tripe, I will have to learn to fly all over again!

Once when flying for the French, I used French Fry for the name and for the Germans I used Horst Radish once. Must have had some food on my mind

Beautiful work, but I have to say that when I look at the faces of some of these brave men, it looks more like the photo they take before they throw you in jail/prison.

Okay, here's the list of the last (well there are a few more besides these, but they might not have been my favorite people) How about: : Borkenhagen, Ehlers, Kohls, Kleinschmidt, Schroeder (must be one of them?) Wehrig, Klinkbuel, and Radtke? THANK YOU
