I think he just wants to game the game, fly around with 25% internal fuel for 2 hours (using drop tanks) then fight in a much lighter fuel state than ever USAAF pilots did in the real war.

Perhaps he wants to pretend he's a spit pilot flying a P-51?  :D

Wait a sec.. I got the Typhoon manual around here somewhere and I remember it saying it could only haul 31 people to the pub.  :cheers:

No one is questioning that it could be done.  The issue is whether it was done operationally.

I sent you a PM but you could also cite the text here so I could buy a copy of the book or manual.

I have similar pictures however I think they are all test bed situations no combat usage.

That is correct, it was tested but never deployed. I was half making a joke, and half making a point. :)

I'd like to see the look on their faces if one of the wings had snapped off.
