so I'm unsure at the moment who's seeing it and who's not. Anyway, the gist is yes, Gen. Rall was there, my good friend Erik Whipple flew over from Virginia to join the aces and kibbitz with them, and he got a rare pic of Rall in front of a 109G-2 carrying 9. Staffel markings signed for me. Strange thing is, Rall was in 8. Staffel, yet he told Erik he flew this bird, "yellow 1", and scored around 50 kills in it. Unusual, but not outside the realm of possibility. However, apparently some individuals took it upon themselves to mailbomb my friend Erik and call him all sorts of derogatory names because of this apparent mismatch in Staffel assignments... what a complete bunch of utter bastards they are.
Erik had a GREAT time, Gen. Rall was apparently quite entertaining, and had a great time with the rest of the pilots there for the show... wish I could've gone...
