They've obviously been brainwashed by Canuck propaganda.
Honestly, I can't tell the difference between Bud and Molsen Canadian or Blue. To each their own, I guess.

Sorry for turning this into a beer thread.

Try drinking European beer, I'm sure 2 pints of Stella would get most Americans under the table

They have the only surviving Ta -152H.

Unfortunatly it is not on display at the moment.

As for the beer, nothing beats a good old Crystal Weizen, Hefe Weizen, Wahrsteiner, Stuttgarter Hofbrau, Pils, Killkenny, or Guinness! They put all other beers to shame.

It's amazing how many planes have survived this long- but there have been many lost forever. Stirling, Whitley, Maryland, Baltimore and Whirlwind just to name a few

the Green 4 of Walter Loos at the Smithsonian will be undergoing a complete overhaul and colour pating job soon I hope. When Walter heard this he was thrilled, but sadly he has passed on.......never to see it completed

back in 1992 Jerry Crandall, friend and artist went on a private tour with the currator and measured and photographed part by part this gorgeous a/c. From this they will have incredible plans drawn out for his JG 301 book most probably the finest book on the unit.............whenever it gets published. I will also be including several private pics from my base in as well. also the unique numbering and gruppe symbols involved with this strange outfit will be included and the magical camouflage ideas used by the unit. Onew thing is that this former Wilde Sau turned day fighter unit was implanted with a great many bomber crew veterans and their personalities affected the JG from it's inception till war's end.

How well did the bomber crew vets handle flying fighter aircraft?
