a.d._510_n_ok Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Albania auctions off 40 communist-era aircraft Albania is to auction off some 40 military aircraft and helicopters that date back to the communist era. The defence ministry said the aircraft, all of it made by the Soviet Union or China, would go under auction in the capital Tirana on 22 February. The ministry said all the aircraft would be of "historic" value only, and "for a civilian purpose". Various museums and private collectors had expressed an interest, a ministry spokeswoman told the AFP news agency. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35486258 4 Quote Link to comment
KiloTango1200 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Oops, always make sure you check the fuel quantity before you make a maintenance flight. The FAA was not amused. 1 Quote Link to comment

Jesse C. Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Re original posting. Herman Goering told Hitler "If an enemy plane flies over Berlin, you may call me 'Meyer'." "Although it has been cited in several variations, the original quotation was given by Resichsmarschall Hermann Göring in a speech to his Luftwaffe in September 1939, after France and Britain declared war and the industrial Ruhr district fell within range of their aircraft. “No enemy bomber can reach the Ruhr,” he assured them. “If one reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Göring. You can call me Meyer.” Meyer and its other regional spellings is a very common name in Germany. Some sources, for added irony, later re-quoted his boast as “If one enemy bomb falls on Berlin, you can call me Meyer.” The fact that Allied bombers did pound the Ruhr, however, was reason enough for Germans to start calling air raid sirens “Meyer’s trumpets,” among numerous other sarcastic references." 1 Quote Link to comment
