Really well done boys!  A special video for a very special group of friends.

This month, JG1 officially turned 30 years old. 🥳🎉🎂 As you all know, JG1 has been actively involved in combat flight simulators since 1992...before I was even born! I joined JG1 in 2015 and can say that I found my home in the first try. JG1 is the first flight sim squadron I ever joined and, as far as I'm concerned, is the best flight sim squadron in existence. (Ok...maybe I'm a bit biased, but I feel it's true!) I appreciate the leadership of this group - past and present - who have kept us in active existence for 30 years and who have fostered a culture of levelheadedness, honor, and respect here. From day one, I've been floored not only by the professionalism of the group, but also the willingness to include new pilots (like I was once) and take them "under the wing" so to speak. I've appreciated the group's willingness to have discussions that help us all improve and I appreciate that we all work to believe the best about each other. It's the kind of organization whose tag I am proud to wear in public and the kind of squadmates that I am honored to be associated with. 
Here's to the next 30! 🍻
 

I have here at my home a Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle, which I don´t use anymore (changed to a Virpil CM2). The issues are, that the thumb switch is disabled on mine, so you have to assamble your thumb switch into to get a full working one and I´m located in Germany. The shipping costs won´t be cheap and the delivery takes some time. But if you are interested write me a PM.

Cover song from 1984 of the 1970 original. Sadly it looses nothing of it´s message. I feel touched, nuff said.

Disclaimer: It seems that the engine sounds are on some scenes edited and incorrect. The later gun camera scenes are possible from allied planes... 😉

This Fw 190 replica with JG1 Markings is also located at Hangar 10 in Usedom/Germany (near the baltic sea). The video what you posted is nice, but didn´t contains any new material. Don´t know why "warbirds" comes up with that stuff and present it as "first public flights". Anyway here is more material from the FW 190 for your viewing pleasure
 
 
 

News from Hangar 10 at Usedom, Germany:
Small airshow with 2 Bf 109 (re-engineered Buchon´s), 1 FW 190 (Flugwerk replica) and 1 Spitfire

S! 
I´m using Sheriff´s profile on IL-2 and DCS for 1,5 years now. Can´t complain.

If you delve deeper into the archives you'll find that... hair was BIG! (And so were shoulder pads).

I love how the IL-2 did the Cobra.

Just going to put this here:
 

Salute guys! 😃 I’ll be flying/live-streaming on Flugpark tomorrow (Sunday) around 2:00pm Central US time (20:00 UTC) for anyone who wants to join. I’ll be on JG1’s teamspeak.

Today I was going through pictures from the past with my mother. She came up with this one:

Encircled: my mother, her mother and siblings next to her. On the back of the picture was written: "Plane crash Groenlo, august 1933" (translated). I couldn't find details of the crash yet.
I think this is a Fokker C.VI from the LVA (predecessor of the Dutch Air Force).
The LVA had bought 31 of this type. 
The designation C.VI is used by LVA for the lighter version of the C.V-D.
The deliveries will take place from 1925 with registration 590 to 608.
Furthermore in 1926 the 609 to 615 and in 1928 the 616 to the 620.
All supplied with the lighter Hispano-Suiza motor of 350 hp.
Except for the 619 and 620, because they are equipped with the 380 hp Amstrong Siddeley Jaguar engine.
All still useable C.VI A/C are in 1934, converted into C.V-D, with the 450 hp Hispano Suiza motor.
Many of the C.VI scouts are still employed in May 1940 during the invasion of the Germans in the Netherlands.


Above the 619 or 620 with the NACA Streamline hood at Soesterberg airfield.
Below the 620 without the NACA hood

The aforementioned 619 is also involved in the short war by SGT Vlieger A.van Liempt. On the 1st day of the invasion May 10, 1940, the 619 takes of from Ruijgenhoek airfield, flies to the Navy airfield at Valkenburg for an attack. On May 11, a reconnaissance on the Grebbeberg between Ede and Arnhem. Then May 12, a bombing flight on the Delft-Rotterdam highway, followed by a reconnaissance flight over the Wons-line in the North. Finally a bombing flight on the Grebbeberg. Liempt is brought down by a Bf109. Yet, he manages to make an emergency landing around 7 pm. There he's caught by the Germans and shot, his observer/gunner T. VRINS is made prisoner of war.
