Suffice it to say that it was a really, really cool Spanish plane, that just

Maybe some kid would draw a Bf-109 that poorly, but the differences are dramatic to
anyone who knows what the German plane looks like. Start with the fact that the
exhaust stacks are at the bottom of the plane with the German engine.

Yes, as the real Bf 109 had an inverted V12 engine.

There's also a
40mm cannon in the prop spinner.

Umm, no. There never was a 40 mm cannon. Early versions (Bf 109E) had
two 20 mm cannons in the wings (outside the prop arc) and two 7.9 mm
MG:s on the cowling. Later versions (Bf 109G) had a 20 mm cannon in
the spinner and two 13.1 MG:s on the cowling. Late war versions (Bf
109K) had a 30 mm cannon in the spinner and two 13.1 mm MG:s on the
cowling.

There were some other versions (and subversions marked as e.g. Bf
109E-4) as well, but those three were the main versions produced,
IIRC.

You didn't watch enough cartoons.

Or at least didn't watch the good ones.

annoying.

Well, Vlado, I guess the others have beat you up enough for this one...

Better watch out, or they'll blast you with a uranium-236 space modulator
next time you fly over...

What really amazes me is that dolts like this jet-jockey park out in the
North 40 at all -- but not because of his jet blast. I'm just stunned that
a guy who can afford to own a biz-jet would be trying to "slum it" with the
rest of us out in the North 40, which is an area reserved for grass-roots
aviation.

Because the real grass-roots stuff is in the Showplane area. The north 40
is for the wannabees and other slummers.

Being disintegrated makes me very angry. Very angry indeed.

Ron--were you coordinating volunteers in the Vintage area this
year?

I worked 9 hours with them this year. Nice bunch of people,
nice collection of "grass-roots stuff."
