Don't you know? Just like the 109G10 of the past, which was modeled off of 109K4 stats, the spit16 we have now is modeled on Xwing stats!

It'd be obvious to even Stevie Wonder that it's just yet another Grumman ripoff of the FW-190 design.

Does anybody else feel that the realistic appearance of that picture is just a bit unsettling?

You know why he crashed on landing, he left his wings in the attack position, and why didn't the LSO wave him off?

Maybe the S-foil pivot was jammed or the controls damaged.

What I'd like to know is how a VTOL craft managed to miss the deck.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

You can clearly see that this X-wing was still using an R4 unit. They were quirky and had a bad habit of locking the S-foil in attack position instead of extending the landing skids. Many X-wings were lost this way until mid-'43 when the R2 units became widely available and replaced the R4s.
