Really nice video Barton! I think your explanation of the art of the merge and scissors is dead on. Can't wait for the next one! -

Klaiber replied to WWGeezer's topic in Public Discussion
Very sorry to hear about your loss. My sincere condolences to both her family and friends. I won't be able to attend her memorial service, but I'm positive that there are quite a few JG1 pilots who would like to be there. I'll pass out your TS information in our private areas. Would you like me to RSVP with those who can make it? -

That's really cool! The He 100 and He 112 were both wonderful aircraft that, for whatever reason, never made it to full scale production. But the Germans definitely used them for propaganda, sometimes calling them He 113s. Mostly to make the Allies think that there were large numbers of them in elite squadrons.

And if you're curious, someone actually did it again in 2005.

That's amazing Labroisse! For a comparison, here are photographs taken during / after the battle: http://ww1.canada.com/battlefront/images-remarkable-photographs-show-ruined-pictures-of-verdun Honestly, that video reminds me so much of the April 1906 film of San Francisco called "A Trip Down Market Street" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz4AmeSApBE&feature=youtu.be The earthquake would happen a week later! Here is the same route post-earthquake. It doesn't even look like the same place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-rP7pRPSDI&feature=youtu.be

Merci! J'ai étudié suffisamment le français à l'université afin d' être dangereux . Le tournoi commence à 6PM UTC (2PM EDT). http://forum.jg1.org/topic/3010-flanders-in-flames-calendar/ Nous sommes impatients de voler avec vous!

Did I ever mention that we had another ordained person in JG1 once? Way back in Red Baron 3D. Butzzell probably remembers him better than I do. He went by Friar. I *think* he was a Brother. Not sure if he was Roman Catholic or Anglican.

Bonjour bt-chatry, Je vous ai placé sur l'équipe bleue. Ils seront sur le côté central en premier. Les informations teamspeak Blue Team peut être trouvé dans leur région. Lorsque vous vous connectez aux forum, vous devriez le voir. Si vous avez des problèmes, laissez-moi savoir. Le tournoi débutera le samedi, 4e Juin. Bienvenue! Et je présente mes excuses pour mon très pauvre tentative de français.

Hi Gunner, Thanks for stopping by the forums! JG1 definitely flies DCS, but we mostly concentration on Cliffs of Dover, Battle of Stalingrad and Rise of Flight. Would that be a problem? Just let me know.

Congrats Somnus! That's great news!

That's ridiculous! The Su-25 looks so bizarre in Space... You definitely have a talent for finding these things in videos and movies!

I'll send out an announcement, and update the tournament info. Btw: I think you mean June 25th, not 28th. -
Hey Stadler! Great to hear from you. I'll drop you a line tonight.
