Is AH having their annual convention this year? If so, I might actually make the 10-hour drive to Texas and face palm. Actually, Skuzzy and I need to have a talk about how much fun I can, or cannot have on political threads.

In any case, back to the convention. In years past they have had tri-planes with miniguns, sharks, santa clause, etc. What about doing a trick rig this next convention and giving us a couple ubber post war monsters for the day. Nothing special but didn't they create the...

P-51N
Sea Fury
P38S(teroids)
F4U-?
SpitXXI
Fw-190D-13


...that didn't meet the criteria for inclusion; might be close enough that if they can computer build a santa clause sleigh they could modify the current birds to meet these upgrades...just for one weekend of fun?!

Oh I think they could but that's just me.

Spit 21 is technically, just barely, not post way.  Was in squadron service and sank a German mini-sub.

And the Meteor. It did have a scruffle with german planes, but without a kill. But did operate in squad service and kill doodlebugs, which is an issue for another thread.....
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Not historically accurate but would be a very competitive plane if added
