My buddy the Baron don't hang out around here much but he told me that while it pains him to see such a wonderful plane treated that way,that, as usual, Ascout's aircraft recognition leaves a lot to be desired as that was an amphibian not a floatplane. Probably half his kills were surpised 109's Piney

You are of course, right...but things get a little fuzzy when The Baron makes a floater into a ground-based A/C in the same take-off run. Laughing

That pilot should have his keester kicked up between his ears for that stupid and costly stunt. _________________ "May your Enemys Run With Fear!!"

Pffft!
EURO training allows for correct water approach and landing procedures whilst simultaneously mixing just the tiniest capful of spiced rum into your drinking chocolate!

I agree Shades! EURO has ALWAYS been good at ditching their shot up planes. (I seen most of them with the bullets holes in the sides that said... "Shadow Squad was here!"... )

Grrrrrr.., 'ditch' and 'EURO' in the same sentence.
No decorum.
Never.
And we only got shot when we wuz concentrating on our drinking chocolate / rum percentages.
It's enough for our CO to turn in his... well... bacon butty mine.
