None of those planes will fit through a barn.. but all with fit through a VH. With the railway bridge do you mean the bridges for trucks or for the actual trails? There is a glitch with the convoy bridges which causes a collision.

Tried rolling an RV-8 through a barn. It would fit, but if you try to go inside one you instantly die. Although it is possible to land on top of one. :aok

Yeah, i did it in a 163.  Started at 12k at full throttle, dove straight down, started to compress, pulled back but still remained partially compressed, didn't think i was going to be able to pull out, but I got her level probably 10 feet off the ground.  I was slightly off center so gave just a bit of rudder and made it through at around 600 mph.

The farmer called the base complaining because the chickens won't lay and the cows stopped giving milk.  But he did get famous because a spider wrote "SunBat's a Badprettythang" in the barn doorway with her web (and yes, she did use dollar signs for the s's).  

I had it all on film, including the spider web, but the file got corrupted when I was using my computer to pilot my very own Predator drone that I built in my garage.  I don't know why it got corrupted.  But it did, so I can't prove any of this.

Well, I got the quote from CoD4. When you die a quote comes up on the screen, and they are highly accurate quotes. So, my guess is yes :D .

in reguards to flying through VH's this is one i made a video of, from one night in the MA.

I was at a base that had full ack and wasn't getting vulched but they still wouldn't up and fight. So I decided to start screwing with them.
