    Photo of crew in front of the B-17 "Sweet Dish" - thanks again for repainting her in all her glory!  

    Ken Temple - my dad (John Temple) was co-pilot of Sweet Dish, 2nd from right, front row, hands crossed.  Bob Roach (pilot) is next, 3rd from right, front row.

     

    Amazing coincidence here. I can feel how that makes you proud. Great.

     

    Fascinating bit of history and some great paints, thank you. Also a big thanks to Ken Temple for personalizing it all for us. It really brings home this Memorial Day holiday for those of us in the US. :)

    Thanks again,

    Tom Wunder

    (Memorial Day is observed the last Monday of May in the US to memorialize our fallen heroes.)

     

    After 69 years I begin to wonder why every country celebrates their soldiers or war´s ending - except us. Wasn´t it a good thing this ended?

    After Gerold ask me yesterday, if i know this thread (which i don't know :-[) and after 4000+ post, i decided to give you some information about me. ::)

     

    I was born in April 1979 in Berlin and grew up in West Berlin with the US Army as a neighbor. I'm working as an Architect. I don't know exactly when i started flight simming but a friend of mine showed me FS5 when we were at school. I must admit that i know nothing about aviation in real life, flight simming is more a kind of short vacation for me.

     

     

    hat's me in December 2013

     

    My second hobby beside flight simming is basketball (blame it on the US Army ::)). I'm not a typical german guy because i don't like soccer! My boyhood idols were Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan. I'm a big fan of my hometown team ALBA Berlin http://www.albaberlin.de/home.html and a member of the RSV Eintracht http://rsv-basketball.de/.

     

     

    Me and my team-mates - i'm the guy with #1

     

    I'm not married but happy with my girlfriend for 15 years now.

     

    Great to learn about you, Karsten! And good you also had snow in the holidays. Danke fuers posten!

    Well Hello Martin , now if we can just get Stillwater (Gerold) to come out from behind the curtain . :D :D

    Brad

     

    Ok mates, I have just seen this slight hint to add a little bit of information about me... so, here we go.

     

    I am Chemist, working for an international company which gets me the chance to see some parts of the world by real life flying. For example, I did visit the company where TeeCee was employed some years ago - and which was put into the Tasmania scenery by him. My nickname also comes from Tasmania - the Stillwater is a fantastic restaurant in Launceston.

     

    I just started flightsimming in 2008, when the FSX became nearly flyable. Not to the full pleasure of my wife, who might prefer me being a honeydo... . But I think our 3 kids are more liberal to see me hanging at the computer...

     

    My real life hobby is field hockey, we are all playing (ok, I am "over 45"), coaching or even acting as umpires (So I liked the discovery of the hockey pitch just south of YBCS...).
