Had a 6,000 or 8,000lb max load as I recall.

I am at work, so no reference books here.

Those engines are the same as the La-7s, for a sense of scale.

According to Time Life's "The Soviet Air Force at War", it carried 2200lbs with a top speed of 340mph, and a range of... crap, what was it? Something between 1300 and 1600 miles. It had 2x 20mm guns I think fixed in the nose and 2 defensive 12.7mms

Still, 2200 is nothing to sneeze at. Twice that of the Pe-2, basically.

Oh my dear Gianlupo...
G55 is a wish...it was not reality. That thing was just a rare example and some sort of prototype of a possible new plane.
G.55 was not a serious frontline fighter.
OK?

Wake up!

The community is calling for a NEW plane.
There is an answer.
It is:
The Brewster!

:D :aok

ROFLOL!!!! :lol

You're joking, aren't you??? Why, having a B239 modeled after the Finns' one, i.e. as a minority (how many did you have? 50?) is possible and having a front line fighter, built in almost 200 examplars, 150 of which served against one of the best trained air force of the time is impossible???

A dream you say??? No, it's not, it was reality and far from a prototype. Sorry, my dear, nice try, but your shot landed far away from the target.

Wake up before shooting! ;)

I think you know I'm voting for the

B-25C

He'll be 86 on Dec 30.... not much more time I think to get this done.

Please honor this man and his service; I would be extremely grateful.





That's him on the right in 2002; he started pilot training in 1942 in a Fairchild PT-19. He lives in Nebraska, so we got him a PT-26 (same plane with canopy). He still flies it but with a safety pilot along with him.

Toad,

If you want a virtual B-25 for your father I'm pretty sure that for realistic systems and pure piloting point of view the best possible example would be the Mid Atlantic Air Museum's B-25 for FS2004.

It is a J-model but I'm sure it would still bring back lots of memories.

B-25 – Cool plane, one of my favorites as a kid and another sentimental favorite for various reasons.  Good for several variants and who wouldn’t want to fly a plane that has a 75mm cannon and 14 .50s?


:noid :noid :noid

With that and Toad's dad in the mix. I am having second thoughts on the P-39.

One of the very finest of days in my memory bank. Pheasant hunting in the early morning with family and then an afternoon in the PT-26 with my father.

A truly great day.
