and yes.....that sure is a winner, in more ways than one

[Flacke]

CONGRATULATIONS, it was a winner to me the first time I saw it. The color, the composition, the nostalgia etc etc made it really stand out. AND, I have flown a red Staggerwing just like that one in formation with a Harvard/AT6 and a P-51 Mustang so your picture really appealed to me right away.

A Danish airport showing a sign in English? I wonder if they even celebrate St Valentine in Denmark.

Having said that, congratulations on winning.

Den.

Congradulations to you...
It's too bad that it takes sexual objectification of women to win a contest meant for screen captures of simulated aircraft and aviation themes.

[Jetranger]

Ya' betcha' !!!

TURN UP the VOLUME Pegger and ENJOY

So much for being a Winner !

AEROSOFT never did actually award me any Prize , even after I asked them several times thru messages & E-Mails and after I properly submitted the required information to claim the Prize

were talkin a simple DOWNLOAD here, that shouldn't have taken any longer than 48 to 72 hours to send to me

The Contest was WON back in February 2018

its now the middle of "APRIL"

I Had strong suspicions something like this was gonna happen, which is why I Notified another particular individual beforehand and made them aware of what was going on BEFORE much of this ever took place - they are well aware of this situation !!!!

The amount of time , effort spent "messaging & E-Mailing" Aerosoft back and forth going on "now 3 weeks" over the Supposed Prize , would of made more sense to just E-Mail the WINNER the LINK to the product,,,, been done with it ,,,,, but no,,,, we'd rather spend excess amounts of time going back & forth exchanging messages & E-Mails then actually award winners their Prizes.

Again were talkin' a simple DOWNLOAD here , NOT asking them to ship me a full fledged genuine 747 to my front door.

Feel like I been to one of those PHONY Carnivals where you have to try to throw the ball and knock over a figurine,,, only its rigged to NOT ever fall over, so the Carnival patrons will never win any actual prize.

Finally got fed up with excuses and days with no replies from aerosoft

wasn't until after I sent a BITCH Message on their forum board that I got an immediate response back from AEROSOFTS CEO within approx. 7 minutes -

That I was BANNED & Blocked from the Aerosoft Forums indefinetly

The reason : ABUSIVE Behavior , they claim !!!

and of course NATURALLY as usual several AEROSOFT users on their forum boards Attempted to make me out as the badd guy during this, so, typical of those types !!

a situation none of them knew absolutely nothing, zero, zilch about, but felt the need to weigh in and inform me that "OBVIOUSLY" I did NOT follow Aerosofts procedures for claiming the PRIZE !!!!

Well did I Prove those Degenerate Arrogrant Jugheads wrong !!!!

Thankfully I saved and video'd the messages to PROVE them wrong !!!

Really how would they know anyway ???

Amazing how quick they were to ASSUME & JUDGE on an issue they knew absolutely nothing about - what so ever !!!!!!

Then there were 2 Idiots who felt the need to pick apart my sentences in some attempt to make themselves look smart as if that kind of mentality would give them some kind of credence & credibility as to why they even posted in the 1sr frickin' place !!!

Didn't involve them , they knew nothing about the situation what so ever - zilch !!

and that's what AEROSOFT appointed as supposed "DEPUTY" moderators for their web site forum , really ??????????????????????????

Now Aerosoft is attempting to Suck Up to me and "IMAGINE MY SHOCK" send me the link suddenly to the Prize,,,, "AFTER" - "AFTER" all this going back forth for the last almost 3 weeks

AS I clearly state in my VIDEO , Just forget it , iu'm NO LONGER intersteaded in anything from Aerosoft ever !!!

I'm NOT pissed so much about NOT receiving the product prize in a timely fashion,, its the way they just kinda blew me off,,, and trying to get an actual response out of them as to what was happening,,,,seemed to take forever,,,,,

Guess I should of waited until July or August then maybe asked where the PRIZE was at huh ??

and NO before anybody "ASSUMES" that their emails must of went into my JUNK / SPAM Email folder ,,, NOT !!!!!!!!!

The Video EXPLAINS it all, Watch it or don't watch it !!!

We have had the #metoo debate.
I am not a devoted feminist but i think that
this type of picture is NEGATIVE to females.
It is sexism.
It is NOT a winner for me.

[Jetranger]

My answer is...
It is the same sexism.
If you do not understand it, nothing i can do.

I don't think it's sexism, I think it's art. Take a look at the great Greek and Roman statues of naked men. Was that sexism? The human body is beautiful, and why would girls parade in next to nothing if they didn't want to be looked at?

The nose art on military aircraft was not meant to "get men excited".

https://www.aerosociety.com/news/war-pa ... -nose-art/

"The artists who spent their time painstakingly painting on these unique works ranged from air and ground crew to enlisted graphic artists and designers. In its simplest form, ground and air crews could paint on the aircraft’s nickname just to form some sort of group cohesion as the aircraft was as much the ground crew’s as the pilots and airmen’s. More elaborate designs may have required the employment of a serviceman with a background in art. Some artists were paid upward of $15 for a painting with some coming from backgrounds including Disney and Esquire, a contemporary of Playboy. The USAAF tolerated the commissioning of nose art as its commanders felt it unified the crews and acted as a much needed morale booster, especially during the height of the conflict when aircraft and personal losses were at their peak. However, the US Navy outright banned nose art and it was rarely seen on British and Commonwealth aircraft. "

Taken in proper context, Nose art on WWII aircraft was not meant to be erotic, pornographic, or demeaning to women in any way. How anyone sees it says more about the individual than the subject matter.
