"F" for Foto

Woohoo! Highback updates. :)

I'm also looking forward to finally having an A-36 in FSX. If anyone is interested, I highly recommend the book "Straight Down," Which is about the missions the A-36 flew in the war.
 
Thank you Frank, and no problem! With the way technology advances, I'm sure one can find a card for the same price as I paid for mine, that is light years better, now.

Sundog, that book title also happens to be the same title as this photo! ; )

(Rob Collings commented that, flying this aircraft, approaching an airport, the dive flaps do a good job of quickly slowing the aircraft down to gear speed before setting up the pattern/approach.)

Because of a PM I got, I should add for clarification, that the title of this thread is related to the subject matter because it is a F-6D variant of the Mustang. (During WWII, before the "Fighter" designation came about, "F" stood for "Foto", and used in the designations for USAAF photo-recon aircraft (such as the F-5 Lightning). Following the start of the USAF, and the change from "Pursuit" to "Fighter", all photo recon aircraft were re-designated "RF" - thus called RF-51D in USAF service).
