Rare chance: Fokker/Fiat/Messerchmitt ace interview in Monday

[Grendel]

Gentlemen, Korva of VLeLv Icebreakers will interview tomorrow Monday a very unique person.

Warrant Officer Onni Paronen.

He is the last Warrant Officer still alive in Finland. He is a most unique and rare archive of information, and he has kindly agreed for interview for our Virtual Pilots Finland flightsim society.

He fought already in 1939 in the Air Force, flying Fokker D.XXI fighters - until the end of the war, ending as a Messerchmitt pilot.

During his career he flew Fokker, Fiat G.50 and Messerchmitt G-2/G-6 fighters.

His total score is 12 1/2 confirmed victories.

We have quite a long list of questions from the aviation community, but if you want to contribute something, subjects you would like to learn about, just reply.

How would he compare his G-50 ride to the 109's he flew in?  I would lik to hear about tha comparison.  Great chance you have they are becoming fewer and fewer each day.  Cherish this as well.
