Top ten reasons why LW pilots are superior

Sox, I think the British gave those names you're talking of.  The P51 was originally going to be called the Apache but eventually Mustang was chosen by the British.  I read in a Lend Lease book I have that the American's liked the British names of American aircraft so much that they started to adopt them too. (e.g. Liberator)

Thats interesting Nexx but didnt all the American planes have nicknames anyway? P-47 Thunderbolt, P-40 Warhawk, P-39 Aircobra, F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, F4U Corsair, etc...

I cant think of an American fighter that didnt have some nickname.  Is there one?

Santa, you remind me of the dog owned by a neighbor of mine....its a little chihauhua which yaps and yaps whenever someone walks past the front of the townhouse but runs away and hides upstairs whenever company comes over.  Us Americans have a saying, "All bark and no bite."

Yep.. Germans nicknamed their planes.. after what looks like sausages, insects, and for the most part; lesser birds.

Sheesh.  

And yes; the brits were kind enuff to give the P51 it's name... but few of the other names they came up with for our a/c 'took'.. like 'hudson' 'harvard' or 'marten'.

Face it... nobody but us could come up with such colorful names as Devistator, Intruder, Marauder, Vindiacator for our bombers, and Aircobra, Hellcat, WarHawk, etc for our fighters. You kinda get the idea there was a theme behind it all.

LOL...

shaddap!  

(Hornisse----->Hornet   )
(Blitz------>LIGHTNING   )
(Falke------>Falcon   )

as you see, US and germans named planes in common

He forgot the rest of the sentence: "...every time we see a flight of P-51's overhead..."

Hah, we know P-51's are sissyboys only interested in running away, so we fear them not.

And, unlike the allied sissies, we've learned out lessons and never piss or puke against the wind. That means that any pursuing P(eevalve) 51 can expect a rearward VomitBomb   .

Take yer hi speed long endurance opportunist sissy scrap heap iron and go play with the kindergarden kids, they might be impressed. If they're not LW that is, if they are, expect to be spanked.

Inferior allied pilots; I laugh in your general direction. The only pilots with something that resembles skill are your P-38 and P-47 drivers; I would even go as far as saying I do not utterly detest them. I just hate them a little.

Now, shoo! I got an iron cross to polish.

The P-38 too. Original US name was "Atlanta". The Brit pilots that tested and flew it called it the Lightning. Unimaginative SOB's at the Army Air Force said "hey that sounds better" and was soon adopted.

LOL Santa! Hope you get that stick soon. If yah don't, let me know; I'll fork over the cash to buy yah one myself.

My motives are purely selfish, and in keeping with my opportunist policy of providing the descriminating Bish Pony Boys with something to shoot at besides f4u's.

In the meantime; entertain yourself with this offering from one of our opportunist cartoonists, an introspective look at a less than brave runstang pilot.

[StSanta]

ROFL! HANG!

Oh MAN that's a GOOD one LOL!

Heh that cartoon gave a face to the runstang crowd!

Yah am hoping stick gets here this week. Ordered a gamecard for my last cash from a company not far from here, it should get here tomorrow. It might make the old stick work good enough for a bit.

Dunno what the hell UPS is doing, but whatever it is, it's annoying.

Looking forward to fighting you and yer gang Hang  . I can stillremember having you on my 6 back then, not being able to shake you heheh.

The Schwalbe... wasn't that supposed to be "Swallow" or something? Maybe "Germans don't spit, they swallow!"

And the Moskito was just an attempt by the germans to create an all wood fighter, like the British Mosquito. After we bombed their glue factory(it's obvious we hit it dead center as Santa still seems to be under the effect of sniffing it when it got into the atmosphere), the Moskito was a failure. The new glue caused the wood to warp and fall off(me thinks they just had the SS beat off into a cup for their second batch of "glue").

Tante Ju? That probably isn't even a word in german.. sounds to me more like "taunt a jew". Maybe it was a fake aircraft used for propoganda. They would just run around saying "Tante Ju, Tante Ju" and the spies thought it was a plane.. but it was really just the guards being told to taunt a jew. (this is a joke, no offense to jewish or anyone who wants to jump on me because they think it's full of bigotry)

Falke.. sounds kinda like "f__k". Maybe that's the name they gave it to it after it came off of the assembly lines. "Oh falke, vat iz deez piece ofv sheeettt?"

You know the germans lost the war? Hehehehehehehe
