Hmmmm…
Got a post from CrazyMainer in my e-mail that he’s leaving this forum…looks like the boy is serious. Look, folks, I’m a huge fan of the British, have TONS of friends over there and am looking forward to possibly coming over there for Legends next year and looking forward to seeing a lot of friends and acquaintances….but, my god, come on…WHY the constant knocking of anything American? Do some of you seriously want an ‘all British’ collection of aircraft over there, nothing from the rest of the world? Isn’t this the VERY forum in which a bunch of folks accused the US movie industry of filming ‘Saving Private Ryan’ as an ALL US movie showing no one else as having fought the war? They kinda contradict each other, don’t they? “We want British planes in Britain, no others despite the fact LOTS of other countries used the UK as a base for striking at the Axis countries.” Does’nt quite fly, does it? Should each country operate only its indigenous aircraft on thier own native soil? We take back all Bearcats, Corsairs, Mustangs, B-17’s…you guys get all Spits, Hurricanes, Fireflies, Blenheims and such? KInd of a boring warbird scene then, isn’t it? You lot would have to travel to France to see theirs, Germany to see theirs, you would see NO Japanese aircraft unless you were rich, and would have to have a few pounds in your pocket to see any American planes, also…the whole thing seems kinda silly to me…but I guess a few folks just feel they gotta open a can of worms in here instead of trying to get along with others and LEARN from others even despite their
differences….
Just don’t make a whole lot of sense to me….but whatever…another forum member gone because of it.
