F 106 Pilot Posted March 9, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 9, 2010 I just received this photo this morning from a friend who took the picture. He said he did not recall anyone flying it. But a great old photo. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben AT http://www.kecay.com/product_info.php?products_id=31 there is a book about captured German FW 190's and the page notes, "would you believe an FW190G-3 in full US Navy sea blue/intermediate blue/white camouflage scheme?"

gpw_42 Posted March 9, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 9, 2010 Can you imagine the fun the pilots must have had racing each other in P51 vs captured FW190, when things were still "wild and wooly" between the end of the fighting and the reestablishment of order? No evidence (or research) that it really happened, but... Forum Support, thanks for that link! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Meatcan Posted March 12, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 12, 2010 love the look of the FW but it sure is jarring to see it in US colors Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
