P51 Skin
« on: August 25, 2011, 10:45:43 PM »
I know, I know - We have a ton of them - BUT - I've been craving this skin for a LOOOOOooooong time. Even if it doesn't make it in-game, I'd like to have it for offline.

I'm currently looking for color photos but this is what I'll post for now. :)



342-FH-3A-42519-57570AC   Serial #: 44-63289

"Maintenance men of the 72nd Fighter Squadron, 21st Group, unload auxiliary fuel tanks for a Mustang " Is This Trip Necessary" on Iwo Jima 11 April 1945. "

Lol there is a photo of that happening.

He was coming in for a landing and as he touched down his right gear randomly collapsed, but he was able to save the aircraft.

OH... I don't think it is a failure. I saw the same path you were on. The key is the serial #, if you have that and a known accident...go for that 1st. You will usually get the squad, the pilot, what happened, where etc...

The only question I have is ...the guy you got the serial # from. He was looking for Drip & Dick and was right with that. Where did he get the # for "Is This Trip Necessary" from? Possible he has some good photo software and got it off the plane? Is there another picture? Who knows! Still dont have the squad # for the plane.
Maybe you could mail him or post on that board.

They also said the existing backlog/queue will fill those slots on a few key planes.
