Holy smokes, where'd you find that video?  I was there at Brunswick NAS when it happened.  As a matter of fact, I was perpendicular to the car and had debris spit out into the crowd right in front of me.  Thats a North American NA-64.

It was the crew of the F-14 demo team that left the car on the taxiway.  The pilot of the NA-64 broke a cardinal rule of taxiing tailwheel airplanes - no S-turns!   Ooops!

I would like one of those.  Maybe two.

Wish we had more early-war machines.

Thanks for the link, +Tiff.

Thanks for the nice pic.

I also would like to see this in the game.  Nice for an 1940-era CT.  This was apparently one of the more successful Armee de l'Air planes of the Blitzkrieg period.

I'm with you oldman.  Think about some of those early Pac war birds that were being used.  Some of those Curtiss Biplanes flying in China, or the early Russian stuff.  Maybe an He51 or Cr 42.

And maybe that Curtis bird the Dutch were using the CW-21.  Thrown in the Buffalo,  and that fixed gear open cockpit monoplane the Japanese were using in China ,Type 96?  It would make for an interesting world to fly in.

There's still a fixed gear export Hawk 75 preserved in Thailand too.

Nice picture!


As for that clip? Just being a goof. :) I know it;s not the same plane but I thought of it when I saw the white pickup truck in the background up in that first picture ad how the pilot looked like he was taxiing though a lot.
 It's a clip I'd found on the net and passed on to Sharkbait at the last Con when I was looking for another video for him. I simply I stumbled across it on the web page I linked to.

thaks for the pix Dan. Would LOVE to see more early fighters in AH - in a TOD setting to be honest.  They get mauled in the MA and one usually flies them in there for the goof factor or because they're bored of everything else.

Dan, from the top of my head I believe we had a grand total of 24 CW-21's...
