P-80A Shooting Star
« on: September 18, 2009, 03:07:07 PM »
The P-80 A was americas first operational jet engine fighter. it was made to deal with the ME-262's. it was basicly designed like the ME-262 but had 6 50 cals on the nose...3 on each side please look into this plane.

Never saw combat. Sorry.

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.

How exactly was is based upon the Me262?

1. It had 1 engine, not 2

2. It had a bubble canopy

3. It did not have swept wings

similarities?

6 50's would suck in a jet fighter.... closure rate is to fast. That's why the 262 has 30mm's
