Of course at the same time, wasn't there some discussion here, a while back on our being refer to as Wixer's :wink: and what the German translation meant? I had to hit up a Deutsch speaking friend to get that definition..........

Back during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the Nicaraguan conflict between the Sandinistas and the Fuerza Democratica Nicaraguense, a.k.a. The Contras, a group of U.S. pilots working for certain outfit, managed to slip a photo through the "keen" eyes of a U.S. magazine editors (Newsweek comes to mind, but not 100% sure).

The photo purportedly portrayed (tongue twister, y'all) a certain "Fairchild Unconventional C-123K . . .

Does someone here, remember such a photo? I believe that I have the magazine issua back home.

Also, with the "TG" registrations from Guatemala, I recall and have photos of:

TG-ASS a Beech T-34
And there was also a Tango Golf Foxtrot Uniform Kilo


Saludos,


Tulio

If I remember right the Mustang 44-63889 that is now N4034S was C-FFUZ but I remember seeing a a few photos that the Z was a C and the Can-ah-de-an goverment realised their error. We all know that the people from the east :roll: can't possibly ever offend anyone (I live in Michigan so I go east to Canada). Now that I think about it since I did see the photos shouldn't I have recieved a letter of appology from K-bec.
I, I feel hurt and dirty right now becouse of this, to ease this feeling I just may have to call a few freinds, get a limmo, go "east" over the boarder and visit one of those places that have expensive beers and costs between $10 and $20 to listen to a song from the DJ (as if anyone there listens to the music thats just a loud timer..ding next :o )

Cheers
Tony

And no i'm not going over there..my heritage is from Holland so i'm cheap :lol:
