Saw a program on wings about secret weapons of Russian airforce. They showed a group of 262's that flew in the old imperial Russian colors. They had Russian pilots flying for Germany. It was a very nice looking paint job. I would love to see this skinned in AH. Did a quick search for it but no luck yet. Anyone have any pics of the squad?

yup .. saw the program.

at first i thought it was RAF circles on the wings, and the "artists" for the show were just stupid....

turns out they were the colors for the RLA

rofl! Thats what I love about the History channel. They can get away with retardedness, and the general masses are too lazy to read a little and find these random, glaring mistakes.
