Hawker Sea Fury
« on: March 11, 2006, 01:48:48 PM »
A few minutes ago a Hawker Sea Fury made a low alt fly over near my house. I couldn't get any pics because the owner never makes more than one pass. It looks kinda like this.




This airplane was seen trying to give chase but no dice. No little yellow, very cool I must add, homebuilt is going to chase down a Sea Fury.

Nope.   Never saw Combat in WWII.  It did shoot down Mig's in Korea though with quite resolve.

The F.21 did see combat in WWII Karaya, it was operational with No 91 Squadron in January 1945.

the mk21 would be sweet. they'd have to perk it hugely haha

it was laminar flow though wasnt it? and without incremental flaps i imagine the turning performance severly suffered.

It's all good Furry.  I'd just hate to see this WWII sim, turn into a Korean War sim.

I would love to see this sim turned into a pheonix missile slinging Tomcat Sim.

Oh boy....just what we need...another super plane, and worse yet ANOTHER SPIT????????

Why.......... why would anyone even make the suggestion(sobs uncontrolably)....now HT will read this and put one in the game....along with the 6 cannon......2000rnd....drop tank........ 500 MPH at 10,000 ft version of the LA I hear their working on.

I agree with Morph ( takes stiff drink )  lets just put some F16's and tomcats in here and be done with it.


 Where's my Mig-3!!!!!!!!!!!
