Country:  | I actually went to several other warbird sites that I had signed onto long ago. Not much happening. My son is on a military site so I joined there also. Not as fast paced and satisfying as here.
oh, and I have a cupboard full of homemade oatmeal cookies. By the pounds!

Country: | I actually started researching the North Africa campaign in detail and started creating a excel list of all the squadrons that I could find that dealt with North Africa in one way or another. Luftwaffe, US, British and Italian airforces. Its far from done and still trying to verify stuff but here is the list so far. Any help would be appreciated.

| Went hunting three days in a row...
__________________  We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft (Me-262), but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.

I did some research into social marketing on the internet and Web 2.0. Especially del.icio.us. del.icio.us is VERY powerful and widely used. If your not using it, or something like it, you probably will be soon.
I'm also preparing my house to rent -- a ton of work!
