Incorrect sorry, AAC sent 4 YP-80A's to Europe, in April 45 Sent two YP-80s to Great Britain and 2 more to Italy, the purpose was combat testing and build the sagging morale of bomber crews that faced the Me-262s, Both aircraft sent to GB suffered problems, one was totally destroyed, second refitted with a Rolls-royce Jet engine. The two sent to Italy performed a few combat missions before the war ended.

Two planes isn't a squadron sorry.

I would love to see a P-80A vs Me-262 vs Meteor, it would be an interesting match.

i would love to see the meteor p80 and other jet planes because this opens the game to the early cold war game(early jet age i think)

Sorry but it has to have at least been at squadron strength to qualify and have seen combat. There are a lot of planes "I just like" but they do not qualify.
