Title: IWA 2009 Nuenrberg/ Germany
Post by: Pepper on February 09, 2009, 06:28:39 AM: IWA 2009 Nuenrberg/ Germany

Is anybody planing to come to the IWA this year? For those who don't know what it is: it's the biggest firearms and outdoor show in Europe where the industry meets once a year. http://www.iwa.info/de/
Ultima Ratio and me will be there. Would be nice to have a beer or two with one of you guys, if anybody from this forum is planing to come.

This is the European version of SHOT Show and I have been there 3 times before, latest trip was in 2003.

Was stationed in Wurzburg, then home of the 3rd Inf Div., who led the charge at the start of the Iraq war...along with a few Marines =))))

Take care and have a few for me....

Damn, Pepper...now that is a 1/2 liter German Beer, right? do they still come in the Flip Top Bottles?

Rojawe - got there in Nov 65 so the supply was depleted when you arrived....didn't leave till Jun of 68, so I cleaned up what little you left behind.

Anyone remember the G.I. In Germany LP?

Take care
