awhile back, there was a show on the military channel. they were covering a guy that was restoring an fw190. they brought an german ace out there. if i'm not mistaken, it was supposedly the same one he had to ditch or something like that, but i'm not sure.
what was truly amazing, was when they let him climb in her. you could see him going back, and the love in his eyes for his aircraft.
when he sat in the cockpit, the years just disappeared off of his face.
that to me was truly amazing to see.
