You get to handle all the hate mail from mustang pilots who can't outrun it?

Any guesses who Greycap was? <G>

[juzz]

They won't be able to get it at fields either because of the deadly AAA  

[weazel]

My guess at who Greycap was,if he was American I have 3 who it may have been.
#1 Richard Bong
#2 Thomas McGuire
#3 David McCampbell

You can have your 262 if I can have my F-86...

Ahh, St.Croix and 33 is the clue, Americans didn't have a field at St. Croix, Brits did   GreyCap is the handle of my absolute favorite fighter pilot of WWII. I read his book like it's a bible.

I believe GreyCap was Johnie Johnson of the RAF. I read a book of his many years ago.

WooHOo! Give the man a Ceegar :>
Cpt. J. E. Johnson of the RAF. Had 38 Confirmed kills and led the Canadian Contingent of the RAF for a good portion of the war. Also flew in the war for 5 years and was only hit once the whole time. Amazing man, went to Korea after WWII and was an advisor to the American Airforce until his death.
Somehow I just _knew_ someone here would recognize his handle sooner or later...

"jet day"?   From what I've heard about it, it leads to endless whining...

[funked]

Juzz:  There's not really that much whining.  There are a lot of (quiet) guys that love jet day - just look at the Main Arena pilot count on jet day.  One thing that would make it more fun IMHO is if the Meteor and P-59 or P-80 were released.  Or maybe an F8F, Tempest Mk II, or P-51H.  It's not that historical (historical means Me 262 is fighting 9/44), but would be fun.

What about the Heinkel He162, it was supposedly even better than the Messerschmitt.

[B-Town]

Well yeah this will be a really good idea. BUT. Can we make it more accurate than in WB? Thay did actualy originaly design the 262 as a bomber. So can we give it the capability to carry bombs?
