^ thanks

Very bad that pilots and some passengers died in this accident, and one more historic aircraft gone.

So you saw this very plane "live"

I envy you, it sure is an iconic and technically interesting plane

.
A shame that there are so few flying events in Germany lately. And I am not much interested in the later cold war planes, also nice but..
The T6 Texan trainer is a regular guest at flying events though, but no bigger WW2 planes; sometimes a Zero, a Dauntless, a Mustang, largest one usually being the Ju 52/3m. Not much german planes left of course, and no bombers at all.
I helped (or better "was present" ahem) while restoring a Mercedes D.IIIa engine from WW1, fascinating. When this Corona thing is over we will be visiting some WW1 planes and flying events, but hard to plan right now.

All the best,
Kai
