I think you'll have a helluva wait Might be a story of how Germany chose it's pilots in German would be more possible. But they seem to be extremely secretive, as I've never heard of one I'm reminded of the story about the Luftansa pilot who came over the radio, who said, " I'm German, in a German aircraft, owned by a German company, and we're all in Germany, why must all communications with the Tower be in English" at which time a voice came over the air, with a heavy cockney accent "Because you lost the bloody war Mate" _________________________ There's no such thing as Bad Weather, only unsuitable clothing
