Country:  | Nothing as intense as the SEALS naturally, but I work with guys like that every day, too.
I wouldn't trust them with my wallet or my wife, but I'd trust them with my life! | |

Country: | True, the best and the worst for others! I know what you mean about counting on them when the fit hits the shan, but not with your wallet. Funny, but true. How many guys have you lent money to, knowing you'd never get it back?

Country: | Yeah just one but he was there when it really mattered. But then later he stole my TV and got sent some place else so I never got it back. Funny huh.

Country: | Yup, I lost track of money/items lost. Oh well. I wasn't going to quibble too much about $50 or so. It sucks to lose it, but I usually got it back some other way as a favor or drinks (like you).

Country: | well none of the pilots now afer I set my mind to doing more study over the last week. German RK mit Swords winner Anton "Toni" Hackl from JG 11 fame. Last Kommodore of the unit scoring some 17 kills in the Ost during 1945 and the defence of Berlin. an incredible pilot flying many sorts of German single engine a/c including the Dora with JG 26 in the laste fall winter of 44/45 then to JG 300 breifly and then back to JG 11.
He has one of the most interesting looking Fw 190A-8's in JG 11 during the Reichsvertidigung in the spring of 44 with white tail, victory markings and his personal emblem on the side of the fuselage. In fact all of the Stab I./JG 11 are interesting . shot down 8 times during the war, over 1000 missions

Country: | My favorite as I have stated before always has been Erich Hartmann but I think the ones that I enjoy reading the most about are Heinz Baer, Marseille, Nowotny and Galland.
