| American Soldier livng in Germany... Hi all... names Lane. I love this place soo far, everyones real great! I've lived in Germany for about 2 years now. I have always been fascinated in WWII areial combat, playing Air Warrior for many years back in the mid 90s. My question is: Ive been looking online to find out how to meet german aces still alive... most notably Gunther Rall and Erich Rudroffer. If anyone can help thanks. I dont have MUCH time though, my unit is getting ready for deployment again and would just like to meet someone and pick there brain a little. Lane |

| Welcome aboard, irshcountry! There's some folks here who are in your neck of the woods that'll be able to lend a hand. They'll probably be along shortly. I'm a former Air Warrior gamer, too...spent many long nights in the 'arena myself, callsign was Zerstorer and later GrauGeist

| Oh yes, Air Warrior. My sign was Roadr for the longest time, then was ->JUG with the widow makers then back to roadr. I want to get back into Gaming, hearing great things about Aces High 2. Anyways, I have met some aces while I was in the states. Had the GREAT pleasure of meeting Francis Gabreski(spelling) in 2000 before he passed. Its just great to find a site that has my passion for WWII aircraft. You can expect to see me alot more with alot of posts. |
