Found proof of it's service in WW2 on another forum.  I think the 262 drivers are gonna be hurting now :)

Don't you know? Just like the 109G10 of the past, which was modeled off of 109K4 stats, the spit16 we have now is modeled on Xwing stats!

Musta been a noob nomad.  A pro would have shredded that uber xwing apart.

It'd be obvious to even Stevie Wonder that it's just yet another Grumman ripoff of the FW-190 design.

Does anybody else feel that the realistic appearance of that picture is just a bit unsettling?

You know why he crashed on landing, he left his wings in the attack position, and why didn't the LSO wave him off?

Navy...:rolleyes:

Maybe the S-foil pivot was jammed or the controls damaged.

What I'd like to know is how a VTOL craft managed to miss the deck.

You can clearly see that this X-wing was still using an R4 unit. They were quirky and had a bad habit of locking the S-foil in attack position instead of extending the landing skids. Many X-wings were lost this way until mid-'43 when the R2 units became widely available and replaced the R4s.
