I llike it and I really don't care if it ends up in the hangar for most of the MA play. What will be really kewl is using it in scenario play in its hysterical role.

By that standard, I also say: Blenheim.
Some say revenge is a dish best served cold. I say it's usually best served hot, chunky, and foaming. Eventually, you will all die in my vengeance vomit firestorm.

I agree. The Whirlwind would also be an interesting addition to early war FSO events.

Sooner or later you realize that they both like it.

I would do so gladly.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

I was wondering JUGgler, you fly a P-47 as I recall and are American I think. Why do you personally like the Whirlwind?

Maybe for the same reason that I, an American F4U fan, think the Sparviero would be a good addition to AH. (And why I promoted the I-16, the He-111 and currently promote the Yamato, Shokaku, the D4Y and the B6N).

I wasn't implying racism just discounting nationalism as a reason for wanting a very eccentric and arguable uncompetitive aircraft. JUGgler flies the wings off that P-47 if you've never ran across him, bends it like Beckham  :rock

You mean the Savoia-Marchetti SM.79? How can I say this kindly? Bit unaesthetic bud  :eek:
