Hi Karl. should the picture be a truth, that would be a paradise8)

 

[B-17engineer]

Is that the infamous "firewater" Roman. In the last picture ?

 

[KMeyrick]

sure is!! It's in a few others too, if you look at our hands you'll see some small shot glasses.... and maybe some bulging eyes!!



and here are some cows.......... (look at them closely to see the inside joke my friends)

 

[seesul]

Yep, that pair behind the flag couldn´t resist the passion

 

[KMeyrick]

here's a few more photos. My wrist is killing my (carpeltunnel syndrome) and so typing is a bit painful, so I'll have to save my posting of the mission 263 info for another day (especially since i have a butload to type for work)

enjoy!

 

[Erich]

note the cows are from Germany and in formation are closing in from the rear in a Sturm like attack ............. note they are banking away to the left now - abortive sortie

 

[KMeyrick]

are closing in from the rear in a Sturm like attack ....

[Airframes]

Ah yes, the infamous JB701, the Jagd Bovine Sturm Gruppe. They get in close, turn, split 'S' and give you some s**t !

 

[Erich]

so they were able to flatulate at 50 yards range with their 3cm Kannon ?

 

[seesul]

Hey guys, you should see to how many people I sent this link. I´m curious to know their reactions

 

[Erich]

good grief Roman they will say: " could you please translate this for me I just do not understand !"

Terry:

actually the Jagd Bovines used the horns on their chests as their symbol of close in fighting and only operated on the hottest days of the summer to make sure their special flatulant rounds would be most effective

 

[Airframes]

Ah! That was their cunning secret! I'd always wondered how they were so successful.....!

 

[Erich]

also Ramming attacks were encouraged !

 

[Airframes]

Ah, Ram Bovines, maybe that's where the name 'Rambo' came from!!
Anyway, here's my short, illustrated account of our trip to the 65th Anniversary of the Air Battle over the White Carpathians. To save cluttering the thread, and for ease of reading, it's in a PDF.

 

[KMeyrick]

Very nicely said Terry. Glad you guys came down for the events. It was great to meet you.

 

[imalko]

Very nice account Terry. Very useful for all of us who know little about this air battle. Great report from your and Karl's participation in the 65th commemoration too. Thanks!

(Have you ever considered to be a writer and not just an artist?)

Thank you Terry for you summary, I´ll read i later today.
Kelly, Karl or Terry, don´t you have a pic of that wooden B-17 George gave to the guests?
I´d like to post it. If not, I´ll take a pic of mine and will post it yet.
