FYI  mach and karnak posted a different shot of the same spit xiv (from diff angles, but probably same roll of film + photographer.)

So.... has that spit been skinned in game?   :noid

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

The trifecta!

(Image removed from quote.)

The beautiful blue-nosed Pony, the 'ol top-dog Eagle, and the new hotness for decades to come!

 Interesting how similar the F-15 is to the Raptor. An Improvement on a great design.
I concur on the the best looking and effective Prop driven fighter ever.

You do know that you posted a picture of a P-51, right?  :devil  :bolt:

That is a lie  :lol.  The spitfire is easily one of the top 3 good looking aircraft in any list.

I was told that they were really crappy and had alot of problems eh stupid friends i guess

Now, that you've got correct (about your friends).  It's a good idea to research from a reliable source before making a statement that makes you look, ah, your word.  How many hours have any of your "friends" logged flying the Phantom?

Favorite fighter (and fighter pilot, Robert S. Johnson) (the plane and pilot in foreground, for those who may not be familiar with the incident):





Favorite bomber.  To me this plane symbolizes the pinnacle of American 20th Century air power:

You realize the B36 and B52 were only 6 years apart, right?

yeah, i do, but the B-52 is still in service. which makes it modern (or at least moreso than the B-36) by my standards

If something is still in service does not mean it's modern, it means it's still useful & good. It also means that it's replacement is not worth the money.
