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 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. :cry

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