(ogrish.com is not work safe so I don't want to post a link)

Anyone see the WWII flyby crash on ogrish.com?  Are those Bostons?

No, haven't seen it. And I don't care for them anyways, posting videos of the americans being be-headed in the war.

I think such sites are important if they also post the full story behind the pictures and not just the images for the amusement of folks that like to see real gore.

ya looks like bostons. thing i find most interesting is damage to one horz stab caused both to fall off just like in the game and the resulting nose pitch up that has been debated over and over match the games performance all so.
