http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljyx3YS4SKw

In this special issue in the main, to the Ju 88 With this, however, are the P-40 and the Me 109 The flight was to go for one of the Ju 88 from Pantelleria to Marsala. The other Ju should also fly there, but comes over from Libya. Along the way they are by an enemy P-40 "accompanied" without which there is fighting. Within the reach of the German Me 109 disappears the Englishman. Trapani was meanwhile a "Gustav" launched to the two Ju's to deliver them from their unwanted accompaniment.The three machines go together Trapani for landing. It marred the Libyan Junkers the first landing, and must in the traffic pattern. The Me accompanies all landings for safety as cover, and all three will go into storage. The flight to Marsala is planned for the next day, maybe even joins a likewise coming from Africa Me 110 of the formation.

MAGTF behind this abbreviation stand the strike forces of the U.S. Marines. (Marine Air Ground Task Forces) Here the schematic procedure of an offensive operation is shown in a presentation lasting approximately half an hour. Much noise and Bum-bum, to a really nice long "firewall." 08:05 I recorded the show on MCAS Miramar down to "Sandy". I used a small hand-held camera, by which the quality of the images has suffered somewhat. Nevertheless, it is difficult to follow such aircraft movements by hand with as a "lightweight", some nice aerial shots came out above all the "Heli's" here.
Some might of the "tone" in this video sound too heroic. Maybe, but when in Germany, only a fraction of people would thus stand behind our soldiers as Americans behind their fighting forces, would the comrades in the war zone, and I say the war zone, helped considerably morally.! As you stand on the decisions of the "politicians" and thus responsible, is also in the U.S., a very different chapter!

I wish all the soldiers out there in these areas a quiet celebration and healthy return to Germany, back to the States and their familys.

God bless you
