Are you kidding me! :shock: It looks like someone dropped their model airplanes in a sand box :shock:

That is a great score! Thanks for sharing Jack...Now I have to go back and stare at the first picture for the next 20 minutes :lol:

Thank you sir, may I have another? :twisted:

Cool pics, but sad ending.

Can we go out there this afternoon and play in the sand? There's bound to be a few parts Gary can use...

Nice Find

Has anyon ever tried to see if there is any thing of this lot still there? I know that Guam is not "local" to many people but I'm sure a trip there would be easier than a trip to a glacier!

P.S. Good to see you back Swiss Mustangs, where have you been hiding?

That first picture looks like quite the landfill. That would be sweet to uncover.

Had been wondering where you'd gone. My first thoughts were:
1. Went on tour with Motörhead as a roadie.
2. Started wholesale outlet of fine Swiss watches in Baghdad.
3. Got recruited as a mercenary in the Salvation Army.

Anyway, very good to see you're back. Who else will stand shoulder to shoulder with me when the debates regarding P-51 id's flame up... :wink: :lol:

Well, Lemmy IS quite a Luftwaffe enthusiast, so this may not be such a bad thing after all... :)
