Still not found another campaign pilot to get merged with. But the new Jasta 15 guy is a promising candidate. His first sortie was a great fight with the new French Nieuport 24. The enemy squadron carried a black rooster emblem. Cheekily they attack the Jasta 15 patrol far within the German line, and bitterly they paid for it - 5 of them were shot down, while we had two damaged craft. My wingmen worked like perfectly fine clockwork. When my ammo was out, I guided them and distracted the opponents - and they killed two within one minute! I think this could be the right Staffel.

I had posted this one before, but now it has got English subtitles - so here it is again:

Oh dear - all that confusion in the name of humanity and law. I'm glad that it is not like that here yet. If bigger accidents happen, the whole road would get closed, and alternative routes would get announced in the radio.

Perhaps rather one of these?

Lou, I always think: "lucky item, lucky Lou!", when one such special find comes to the right people like you.

Congrats, my friend - like me, you are able to enjoy even the smaller upgrades. And isn't it worth it?

...and with Ketchup it's not so bad, eyh?

Arrgh! Did they really add sawdust?! Must have been very hard times then. But what's McBurger's excuse? Their product tastes like sawdust even in good times???

I can only ditto that! What a connection!

The Japanese didn't eat any bread before the Americans brought it to them. They ate things like Miso soup with tofu, alges and spring onions, fried fish and rice, etc. for breakfast. They didn't know diabetes and several other diseases before the second world war was over. So I just switched over for Asian breakfast. Don't know how long I can keep that up, but so far it's okay. The only bread that would be okay is real full grain bread - like Pumpernickel. Unfortunately for you, the American bakers add all sorts of stuff that reduces it's healthiness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpernickel

Bullethead, that's not funny - it is frightening! And more and more the way it becomes here in Germany too. What do you as a fireman say to this - isn't it quite close to real life madness?

No need for excuses, MikeDixon. It's not my deep "dislike" about Hitler, why I dislike most parodies - it is, that I find, most comedians belittle the monster and the monstrosity of his plans by playing him down. I'd be coward in the face of those brown hordes, you know? I don't know what I would do, if ever someone like that should raise again, and even find so many followers. I couldn't be more lost than I would be then. Get what I mean? Two days ago, I saw Ernst Lubitsch's "To be or not to be" - that was real great anti-fashist comedy! But this way round - Ernie's gestures with the original voice - dismasks the theatrical way of speaking very well. Even better than Chaplin - quite funny.

Take this for encouragement - beat them!

As I said, with Birch plywood, you do not get noticable characteristic differences between the panels. You can see that in the picture I took from the Albatros D.Va building photos of "The Vintage Aviator"; left is uncoated; right side is coated. And damn - the right pic shows me, that I have forgotten some of the nail lines!

I have seen a Sukhoi "Flanker" performing the famous "Cobra" manoeuvre on the ILA Exhibition, Berlin, 2005. The jet fighter performed a capital "Z" - beginning at the lower end! It was incredible to watch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9tl8XBvmIQ&feature=related

They are all seperately done differing panels, nbryant - not so well visible in the glaring sun, maybe. Well, even now you could already use each Jasta's basic (non-ace) skin as a template. Or you use my latest Albatros D.V and D.Va skins from the download section - they carry no individual markings. PS/Edit: Birch plywood doesn't show much characteristic grain. .

Just finished the work on another plywood fuselage for my Albatros. This time I found good textures of Birch plywood, as they had used according to Vintage Aviator. Think I like the new one better.

Thank you, HPW. Not eating is probably the fastest way for slimming, but not so good. We need enrgy for our everyday works and troubles. But it is what we eat, that decides. And we know quite well, what's unhealthy. Usualy all the stuff we are greedy for. Must be insanity...

Lou, that's a great way of doing it, and that downward curve, and the courageous look of Guynemer must be very inspiring indeed. Congrats to your first 6 kills - arh - kilograms, Sir! I have also started it this year. Been in the Fitness Studio yesterday (all muscles are aching - didn't know we had so many muscles?) My food has also changed a lot. No readymades and fast food; only whole grain dark bread; hardly any sugar; no noodles. It's mostly quite Asian or Japanese. Yesterday's warm dish was fried Shiitake mushrooms, fried little green peppers, rice with white fish. The fish was done in alufoil, with parsley, chives, thin cut carrot, thin cut leeks, lemon, ginger, and butter. Breakfast is a bit new to me - no bread Whole grain oat flakes with milk and yoghurt, banana, apple, nuts and honey. Eggs only once a week. Started it with 89 kilograms. I'll report, how it goes on. I wish you and me good success!

Yer not helping, mate! By the way: mating is also deeply rooted in our genes - but we're not permanently doing it. Thank god! Earth would be quite overpopulated by all the orthodox Catholics. Next thing that will happen is that I will get banned for anti-religious remarks. Another next thing to come would be Widowmaker doing a Lord Flashheart impersonation to my above remark about mating; saying: "Well, maybe YOU can't do it, old boy!" Ah, I feel sooo tired....

Mighty, please read the fifth line of my first post, okay? Which happens almoast everywhere on earth, every day. As long as there are people who need to have power over others against the others' will, you will see fighting and war. And it happens despite all our intelligence. I have just seen the 1959 German film "Die Brücke" ("The Bridge") again, in which a handful of mere schoolboys are drawn into service in the last days of the second world war. They hold an unimportant bridge against Americans. Two American tank crews, two soldiers, and all but one of the schoolboys die. The film ends with the words: "This happened on 22 April 1945. It was so unimportant, that it is not mentioned in any Heeresbericht. (Army Report)" I'm not into fighting right now.

Mighty, great that YOU posted that "Canteen" sketch here - I posted it several times and didn't dare another time. That sketch is brilliant!

Sorry, but I'm not. In my first bolded line I said, that war and fighting is deeply rooted in male genes. In the second bolded line I say, that vulgarisation and bestialisation are results of our raising and education. (Maybe I should have inserted: ...without a war going on...) Don't know about you, but I see a difference between the two.

You don't? I always thought you did!

Well, they both have a rather fine nose and quite lucious lips. And they both have a certain depth in their looks. Apart from that, she is definitely more attractive. But maybe women see that different?
