As of late 2008 the top living Luftwaffe experten were:

Gunther Rall, 275 victories (age 90)
Erich Rudorffer, 220+ credited (age 91)
Walter Schuck, 206 (age 88)

Apparently no others with 150 or more victories remain living. But Gunther Rall is in good health and was interviewed by the National WW2 Museum early this year.

Gunther gets to the US once in awhile, usually associated with Virginia Bader Arts in LA. I've never heard of the others visiting here.
