F6F Hellcat, RealFlight

P-51, nice, P-47, nice nice, P-38, not too shabby...but the Hellcat. Just look at her kill ratio. Ruler of the Pacific. Can' t wait to fly this one!
 
Heres a quick update after we took 2 kitties up to do some sight seeing :icon_lol:
 
Outstanding!!!! I love the sharpness of the canopy frame. The rest of it is a beautiful piece of work also:applause:
 
Every time i take a ride i notice something new , today was the degree
the cockpit gives me a three dimentional look and feel , like in this shot over my sholder looking at Dean i was amazed at the depth of field .
 
Hopefully today we'll be putting up some carrier landing shots from myself and chuck..
 
Does anyone know if there was any Hellcats based in england.
 
but look what she was shooting at ;)

Ya, shooting at things that shoot back! And that after you've flown hours over an empty sea and got to land on a moving object that looks about the size of a dime in the huge wave tossed ocean. Then forget about liberty your stuck on board ship no women, very little hooch. Oh, and don't forgett the massively comfortable living conditions! But other than that; the ETO pilots did get to shoot at "real" airplanes not those pathetic zero's!:costumes: Hint, hint just joking, in a way:rolleyes::)!

didnt mean it like that, just ment it shot at planes which went boom easily compared to others that the p51, p47 and most p38s shot at :wavey:

Yes, from a quick check of my sources there was a training squadron at RNAS Eglinton (Northern Ireland), individual aircraft based at RAE Boscombe Down for trials as part of C Squadron, the Naval Fighter School at RNAS Yeovilton was equipped with a number and RNAS Ford had a number of squadrons at the end of and post war (I think a night fighter squadron 891 or 892 and 888 the photo-recon squadron).
If you contact the Fleet Air Arm Museum they should have more details.

The more details the better for our planned expansion pack, if we get enough detailed info then the expansion pack will begin.
 
The Kitty is set up so your able to use the payload selection window to add or remove the rockets , bombs and droptank on any version .
