Most of those links not working Brooke. The one of the 163s attacking Forts is a <facepalm> moment as it's Memphis Belle era B17Fs vs 163s. Never happened :)
Lets get em in the mood anyway :)

And, if you want to fly for the Luftwaffe in Battle Over Germany, III/JG1 (in Bf 109G-6's, G-14's, then K-4's) is looking for more pilots.

Thanks! Yep, that's a good one. I'm guessing it's a painting of a real event, but not sure.

Some pretty hot action to be had. :cool:

"On May 25th, 1944, CPT. Joe Bennett's three man flight of P-51's ran into a formation of Bf 109Gs from III./JG 1 over Sarreguemines near the Franco-German frontier, and the American found himself locked in mortal combat with Obfhr. Hubert Heckmann, a grimly tenacious-some may say foolhardy-foe. When the guns of Heckmann's Bf 109G-6/AS yellow 15-1 jammed, the German refused to let his quarry escape. Pulling up his Messerschmitt's nose, he caught Bennett's P-51B-7-NA s/n 43-6572 codded VF-N in a mighty Daimler Benz buzz-saw that sliced off the Mustang's entire tail section. The American's aircraft madly whirled out of control, but the pilot bailed out unhurt to become a prisoner of war. Released at war's end, Bennett was eventually credited with 8.5 victories and was awarded three distinguished service crosses.
Following his collision with the American, Heckmann successfully belly-landed his Bf 109G-6/AS (Wnr. 163 796) near Botenheim. Returning to duty was his unit, he was injured in air combat with a P-38 followed by a crash landing near Compiegne, France, on August 5th, 1944. He returned to duty, later flew Me 262s with JG7, and survived the war with 5 victories."

Also to note that they became friends after the war.

That is quit brave of Heckmann to ram that pony. Good timing too.

1. the AH Events site needs a 'contact us' section so that we can report problems.
2. the registration form is down - Error: invalid form @ http://www.ahevents.org/scenario-registration.html
-
I can get to the registration page. Does it give you that error when you go to the page, or only once you click to submit your registration?
I'll also send along your message to the site admin folks.

Thanks, Brooke. It's my mistake. I didn't notice the radio buttons. On the bright side, it's a very easy registration process - I expected to fill-out more information.
