Title: What were the Finns up to today? (BIG PICTURES)
Post by: Grendel on April 16, 2001, 02:44:00 PM
What is Grendel's nose doing in the left side? Whats this Aces High squadron CO listening to? What is Kossu looking at? What is this WW2 fighter ace telling?

  (http://www.kolumbus.fi/matleh/kuvat/images/106-0612_IMG.jpg)  

Why are we looking at wrecked Soviet LaGG-3 fighter?

  (http://www.kolumbus.fi/matleh/kuvat/images/106-0624_IMG.jpg)  

Why do we care for these German flying boots?

  (http://www.kolumbus.fi/matleh/kuvat/images/106-0611_IMG.jpg)  

Why Netfly looks at the camera? Why PJK has his mouth open?

  (http://www.kolumbus.fi/matleh/kuvat/images/106-0626_IMG.jpg)  

Why is this Fiat G.50 fighter pilot laughing?  And this Hawk jet reconnaissance squadron flight commander, Timo/Moosefly, lookign so awed?

  (http://www.kolumbus.fi/matleh/kuvat/images/106-0621_IMG.jpg)  

And what the hell is this one?

Nice!

Picture one, in the background, DeHaviland Vampire??  Me thinks so, I am almost sure by the odd, rectangular cockpit...I've flown one of those!  Tricky, but fun!

It surely was was of the best Easter mondays  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Mr Pokela has flown Bf109's in the real Lentolaivue 34 (as well as Brewsters in LeLv24 earlier). Great stories indeed  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

This gentleman gave us a grand lecture about his squadron's activies during the war. He was a flight commander in HLeLv 34 and even had the Finnish aces of Aces, Illu Juutilainen, in his group of pilots.

I got most of the lecture to tape, I'll check tomorrow if the sound quality is usable for writing it up....
