    Jagdgeschwader 52 has members mainly from Spain, some from Argentina and Paraguay, and our Ucranian virtual pilot, Wolfer.

    Yes, JG 52 is Jagdgeschwader 52.
    The pic is showing one of Erich Hartmann's BF 109, surely a G-10 or G-14.
    And yes, some of our virtual pilots are real life pilots as well [​IMG]

    Jagdgeschwader means Fighter Wing, I don't know too much deutsch but I think it means literally Hunt Wing [​IMG]

    Yep, the JG 26 has three real pilots in their rows.
    Badgun our Commodore and me flying Ultralight planes & e.g. Piper planes in the US.Here is my favorite plane I want to purchase in Germany:
    http://www.fk-leichtflugzeuge.de/Produkte/FK_12_Comet/fk_12_comet.html

    Cannon has a ATPL license which allows him to fly the "big ones" commercial.

    Horrido! Alexej

    Interesting question. For two days I've been seeking for an answer and what I have found:
    FAQs about FAQs

    Finally I understood that the word "foobar" is precisely undefined idea, like a "snark". The trick is that this idea is unimaginable [​IMG]

    Literal Definition:
    Fubar = F.U.B.A.R. = F***ed Up Beyond All Repair. I.E. a direct 30MM cannon hit to your groin, or fuel tank, etc.

    This is quite different from snafu.
    Snafu = S.N.A.F.U. = Situation Normal, All F***ed Up. I.E. you and your wingman enter airspace controlled by 10 enemy fighters for the 3rd consecutive time, so you expect to take a direct cannon hit to your groin, or fuel tank, etc.

    More proof that the word f*** is the most versatile in the English language.
