Stab and 6th.
Including Leole's glorious shot.

I had been telling Hitler for over a year, since my first flight in an Me-262, that only Focke Wulf Fw-190 fighter production should continue in conventional aircraft, to discontinue the Me-109, which was outdated, and to focus on building a massive jet-fighter force. - Galland

5th Staffel's "takeoff" is pure comedy gold. :lol:

In the words of the great Staffelkapitan Maximus.. "are you not entertained?"

In fairness, we have a few new guys just learning the ropes, training is ongoing. The one steam rollering the 4th suffered a locked rudder on takeoff.

It's a shame he hit that one guy. I thought I'd rigged it for a full strike.. :joyman:
