Dragon lady of the 86th FG

[jankees]

I found a book on the 86th FG, and it turns out they had quite a few P-47 razorbacks, so I just could not resist...

 

[gradyhappyg]

Yes, do not resist ever.
Resistance is futile we shall add your great paints to our hanger and fly them often.
All I can say is WOW!

 

[jankees]

completely forgot it should have yellow stripes on the wings...

Jankees...I know this plane is no P-51 but I have a question.....I'm curious if I'm doing something wrong.....first it takes me a bit to get this plane to stop smoking at startup but I think its a mix of fuel and rpm and will get that figured out but.....it seems I can never maintain airspeed.....seems kinda sluggish at times. Is there a trick to flying this plane and maintaining a good airspeed?

 

[jankees]

mixture lever should be completely forward, for it to stop smoking, well, with me anyway.
Prop lever fully forward as well, and then it flies very well with me.

I actually got my first succesful flight after watching this movie.
The army certainly had a way to get your attention!

beautiful lady!

Wonderful! Should be flown together with A Bit o' Lace in a Milton Caniff formation.
