Another thing they both agreed on was loving the F-86.
When Hartmann joined JG 71 they still used the Canadair Sabre and Hartmann praised the flight characteristics and low speed handling of the Sabre during his very public resignation over the F-104G. Brown flew several types of Sabre while posted to NAS Patuxent and called the F-86E that had a hydraulically boosted stabilator the best handling jet he ever flew and the "spitfire of the jet age".
And of course they met at one point because Eric Brown met basically every German aviation figure during his post VE day quest to track down German experimental aircraft or his 1950s/60s diplomatic postings to Germany.
