Got an e-mail from a friend telling me that 56th FG P47 Ace Fred Christensen passed away on Tuesday morning.

Thought I'd pass it on.

, sad to see these wonderful pilots going...soon there won't be any left.

A day of Jugs would be appropriate, change the planeset!

Sad to hear. By far the jug is my favorite plane but I just cant fly that thing. 56th as well is my favorite squad in WW2 even though im in the 475th.

Maybe we could convince some skinner to make a Christensen skin.

His silver D-25 "Miss Fire" would be a good one.
