Oberleutnant Karl-Heinz Schmidt from 2.Staffel / FAGr 5 (Fernaufklärungsgruppe 5) welcomes Hauptmann Walter Nowotny (Geschwaderkommodore Jagdgeschwader 101) upon his arrival at Mont-de-Marsan airfield, a long-range reconnaissance base in southwestern France, 24 May 1944. Nowotny arrived on his own Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-4 aircraft to watch a handball game between JG 101 and FAGr 5. Note the execution of the landing gear flap (meaning the presence of an internal flap) and the highly polished paintwork of this Fw 190. The crosses on the fuselage of the planes from JG 101 have an unusual proportion. It is believed that this particular aircraft also had a yellow spiral on the spinner. In this picture you can also see Nowotny's personal symbols - the "13" marking and the "Green Heart" emblem. Even in the presence of their encouraging commander, the handball team of JG 101 lost with a score of 17:4 to the FAGr 5 team.
