Wikipedia is a good start but it's not authoritative enough. Take a look at some of the other wish discussions that are well constructed...i.e. pertinent data included with pics.

Only bad thing i could realy find on this plae is hat only about 250 were built.

This plane is an australian aircraft, which i dont think we have any of those.
This plane has very good guns and a great climb rate. 

or this?

Ok as an Australian I think this would be an awesome addition for EW Arena's and DA matches.

This aircraft with its minimal airframe and enormous engine plus the fact that it carries the same amount of firepower as Mid and Late war spits. This thing could challenge the Hurri in Turn and the Zero in firepower and speed.

It does not seem fast but with that Power to Weight and some height this thing could be a deadly aircraft to come across.

And of course a very patriotic Australian cannot say no to this. (Americans it was loosely based on the T-6 Texan so give some support here  ;)

( Ok I know it has been requested, but seriously I might even keep bumping this just so HiTech will get in on it. Because the population of AH is American,British then Aussie then other European countries and so on) And seeing as we have Italian and English and TONS of American and German. Its time we had a colonial invention in here to kick arse and take some rather interesting  names........ SHawk and Wideload for example >:)

some people dont like wikipedia because anybody can go there and change stuff.  as for the other websites, they're made by people who heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend who made stuff up, except it has more prettier pictures.
