Brief clip, but incredibly lucky/skilful pilot as he leads a Scramble take-off from a rain-soaked runway.

Cheers, MP

The D-9s are carrying bombs. Maybe TD will do us the favor of giving us a rack for a droptank and bombs?

Take a look at the span that bird has. I though the D9 had a span closer to the A8, that looks a lot like a Ta-152. Why it would be carrying a bomb, I don't know, it is probably spring of 45 and things were very rough for the Luftwaffe. I am no expert, would love to hear someone else chime in. It is the last plane, closest to the camera that I'm speaking of.

Hello Zorin! Still alive?

Are you still interested by 231 material? I never got any answer from you for my last proposal...

i'd say it's a d9, there appears to be a bit of image squishing in action there.
