Yeah, he does, and nothing like the real Red Baron. However, I always loved that pizza brand as a kid :aok
BnZs, your Red Baron Pizza avatar looks remarkably like Tom Selleck in High Road To China.

(And apparently I'm not the only one to think so)

"Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals."

Like I said, Confederate Air Force schemes.   I don't like tramp stamps on warbirds.

I belonged back in my USAF days.


I used to work on Devil Dog when it was based in Harlingen.   The good old days.  People only go to Midland when they're lost...

Ummm... no.

The "Confederate flag" that you're referring to and that we know it today is nothing more than the Confederate Battle Flag. It is not the flag that represented the Confederacy nor does it have any innuendo of racism or inequality.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America#Battle_flag

Most people have no idea what the actual Confederate flag, the "Stars and Bars," even looks like.

sure and the swastika is used all over the world but if you ask around 90% will say it represent the nazis.

My roommate who likes airplanes and flying

He doesn't, or he'd play the air-combat game with the best flight modeling.  He's just a poser and an airplane weakling.  ;)  We have former fighter pilots who play Aces High.  They don't mince around fretting about what the grass looks like.  They are there to shoot you out of the sky in a sim where the planes fly like the real thing.  You should tell him that.  :aok

They probably need new player base. Many AHers are old farts like me that have way too many private life things to do.

You have to make some time to play!  You can do it.  :aok

I reject it.  There's a difference.   Although it is prob good they did as this bunch is so far removed from the Harlingen days as to be unrecognizable.

I probably shouldn't.  It is a business now and they make bad decisions for pocket lining--like moving to Midland.  You can probably find out more by searching Warbird Information Exchange (WIX).
