Who you kidding.  We know you were at the Seminar going over creative uses for broken 190s.  This being the latest in 1944 190A8 hat racks that were all the rage in Germany :)

HA.. that's just the 190's "easy access to engine service mode"...  Well designed plane for the pilot AND the crew chief!!!

Guppy, you are the spin master!  Only you could take up a stolen A8 to try and learn it's secrets, perform the famous GuppyDive and try to pin it on the Axis.

You need to be in politics buddy, you are GOOOOOD!


  First thing I thought of when I saw the pic,who let corky get his hands on 1 of our 190's.

   Typical allied dweeb blaming us for their short comings! :devil

   Corky,stay on the ground the life you save could be your own!

That is actually a pilot that was on Guppy's 6 and followed him in. Due to the Allies industrial might, he figures he can go plane for plane.

16 years of flying cartoon planes and no one's killed me yet! 

But lets be clear on something.  If I'd have been piloting that 190, I'd have wrecked it with much more style!

You can almost feel the power and hear the screams of the bomber crews just by looking at one of these beauties.  :devil

Did the Allies ever score a victory over a Luftwaffe plane that actually had...gear up?

They would have, but the LW pilots kept lowering them in the middle of the fight.  Why is that?   :)

They knew someday HTC would need flight specs on the 190.
