There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

The local government is likely to collect waterway fees or something either through a formal license or cash payments from boat owners. In Vietnam (and perhaps its true of some of the surrounding countries) officials still collect "under the table" fees from passengers or take some of their goods in lieu of cash.

The male (mostly) obsession with powerful engines and speed is near universal!

My grandfather who was born in 1895 said it was "who had the fastest horse" when he was a kid so it's nothing new either.
My grandfather was born in 1895 as well. Different times.

Wonder what type of speed they are attaining with those crazy things?
Wheels
An A Stock hydro tops out just over 60mph. A D Stock tops out at 89mph.
