| The CAF does have a C-47 flying. It's part of the Great Lakes Wing which also features a Ju-52. http://www.greatlakeswing.org/

| It's always a shame when one of the few warbirds left goes down. I found out just a couple of weeks ago that the CAF's He-111 has crashed.

Country: | That happened in 2003, I believe. Get with the times. The last flying He-111 went down, killing the pilot if I remember correctly.

| I know, but I only heard about it recently. It's pretty sad because I was able to tour that plane a few years ago.

Country: | Stuka I like the picture in the sig. The Ju-52 was used for more things but the C-47 survived more maybe because it had more fighters to cover it?
As for the He 111 it was recovered but I talked with the CAF team and it will not be returning to the air, though it might be rebuilt to static, but that is a long shot.
I was reading on the bf 109 that some 34,000 were produced but only a few hundred survived the war

Country: | it is a great shame i would love to see so many planes flying, even if theyre only replicas. MC.202's, P.108's et al. but im going to a battle of britain memorial flight in a couple of weeks  should be good
also, looking at the poll ive just noticed that the Me-323 has more votes than the Horsa, the Horsa did actually have quite an impact

| People are voting based off of engines.

Country: | well if everythings about engines, surely the 323 should be winning, then the Ju-52, then the C-47 and then the Horsa?
