Great to see Flying Iron still active with these recent updates - I was starting to worry. The F6F gets little flight time with me because it's always felt a tad sluggish, so exploring this update will be very interesting. Being British, I should be saying the Spitfire IX gets the most hours, but the P-38 is my guilty secret. ;)
