I've always wondered what would happen if the two pilots had a disagreement over tactics in the midst of a dogfight...

     Apparently that was only a problem in the E model, the F and Gs had a radar officer instead of a copilot.

Who was the old AW player who's father used to fly F-82s for the Air Defense Command?  Wasn't it -HR-?

It would split into two P-51s and they would follow their ideas.  :lol

"The North American F-82 Twin Mustang was the last American piston-engine fighter ordered into production by the United States Air Force. Based on the P-51 Mustang, the F-82 was originally designed as a long-range escort fighter in World War II, however the war ended well before the first production units were operational, so its postwar role changed to that of night-fighting."

WIKI..."However the War ENDED BEFORE the first [production units were available"
