Daughter of a neighbor of mine had Rudy Opitz as her sailplane instructor some years ago. Test pilot for the Me-163 rocketplane. Also was one of the assault-glider pilots in the attack on Fort Eben-Emael.

2 Wows this week !!!! That is amazing. How many of you budding pilots would like to have Mr. Takahashi as your Flight Instructor. What a flying link back to WW2 you would have. Here is the real McCoy in person. Brilliant !!!! I am mega impressed.
