[cheddar cheese]

[GermansRGeniuses]

Oh, welcome to the site sagaris

 

[cheddar cheese]

and what is funny about that?

 

[lesofprimus]

Ummmm.... Maybe the fact that u were welcoming urself back to the site???

Not really funny, more silly, but worth a smiley none the less...

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

Exactly.

 

[cheddar cheese]

i see

 

[lesofprimus]

Did u just put ur glasses on, or did u have ur hands over ur eyes???

 

[cheddar cheese]

i know you know this but it was metaphorical

 

[lesofprimus]

Hehe.. yea i lmow.. was just bein a smartass....

And I like that siggy...

 

[cheddar cheese]

cheers, it is rather aesthetically pleasing isnt it 8)

 

[lesofprimus]

Yes it is.. Artist did a good job... Although, that Zero goin down most certainly woulda had flames comin off his aircraft.... No self-sealing fuel tanks was a big gamble...

And a BIG benefit to many, many Allied pilots...

 

[cheddar cheese]

oh so its a zero? i couldnt make it out, you must have way better eyesight than me

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

Back on topic, the following is a list of gliders I can name

CG-4
CG-13
Airspeed Horsa
General Aircraft Hamlcar
Gotha Go.242
DFS 230
Messerschmitt Me.323
Antonov A-7
Kokusai Ku-8

They could be quite effective if used properly, the most sucsessful mission was the German capture of the fortress Eben-Emal.

The Me-323 wasnt a glider, that's the powered version. The Me-321 was the glider 8)
