Am oh-so-ready for this flying Art. As smooth a model ever seen & am betting she flies just as well.

No problem with me rushing to grab a YF-23, fellas. Already have her in my hanger. You first!

Same for me. No YF-23 necessary if I manage to get into the first group, because somebody forgot to attach props to it. Not sure how a plane can fly without props... :mixedsmi:
 
A jet is like a woman, the "props" are hidden inside, still there and still very powerful.

Sorry for making everyone wait, but we are trying our best to make sure its fit for flight BEFORE we release it! The team is still working hard on testing the latest version. We will let you know when its up ASAP!
 
Thanks, Gibbage. All jokes aside, we respect that you guys want to be sure everything is right before release... Just let me know when to warm up the plastic....:kilroy:
 
I hope its soon, im headed out in a couple hours then i gotta get to bed early for work all day tomm, not that anyone needed to know my life haha
 
Not a problem, Gibbage.. Re-reading parts of Warren Bodie's "The Lockheed P-38 Lightning" in anticipation of poking some good-sized holes in the sky with this rather sexy-looking fighter. If I had been training to be a pilot in WWII, I know I would have been lusting after the sleek curves of this classic fighter...... This is coming from a die-hard Mustang fan, too...........
 
I have the same book. Very interesting read and give great insight into the development of the P-38 and its outside stumbling blocks, like the War Commission insisting on certen aspects that hindered the performance of the aircraft. The P-38K is one of those "What were you thinking?" moments. Its performance far surpassed almost all US fighters, and all they did was change the props and up-rated the engine a little. The War Commission denied putting it into production because the changes would stop production for a few days. WHAT? That extra speed and climb would of saved lives. Makes me angry to know people sitting behind a comfy desk made a choice that cost's lives because of production concerns.

Anyways, back onto subject or the mods may also get angry, turn green, and swing the ban hammer =)
 
I thought I knew alot about the Lightning until I bought this book, and, like you, I was really shocked when I found that it could really have been a much more superior aircraft with only a few mods..... and you are right, Gibbage... to think that a pencil-pusher decided this planes legacy with, what else but the stroke of a pen... Angering, in many respects.. Anyway, at least we can fly her today under much more humane conditions...:medals:
