F4U, (all models) FM2, and I'm starting to get a kick out of the 38J (I am continually amazed by just how well such a large and heavy plane can dance).

Ahh Bronk, I understand and can probably torture you a bit.  Got to know all those Spit XII drivers and spend time with em.  Grew up next to Crystal Airport in Crystal Minnesota where Jack Sandberg had his racing P63 Tipsy Miss so I had a KingCobra flying over the house all the time :)

And back when I was taking flying lessons at the same airport I had the pleasure of landing behind a Corsair that was stopping by Sandberg's hanger for some engine work.

Oh to be 16 again :)

Here's an image of her as I remember her.  It's from this site:

http://www.speedpropsandpylons.com/jrs_tsunami/tipsy_miss.htm

If you look you can see the hanger at Crystal airport.  It was like Alladin's cave for me.  I remember a day where he had the EAA XP51 there, he had a P51C in pieces by the hanger (I snuck in the cockpit of that one) and a P51D out front, along with the 63.

Hate to bust your bubble but there's no way anyone but Tony Stewart flew that P-63 in those colors.  I mean, come on, it even has the 20 on the fuselage!!!

Post by: captkaos on August 04, 2006, 04:21:17 PM

C.205 for air to air, and is especially good for teaching newbies that La7's, spits, and P-51's are not invincible.

110 for ground atacks.

Post by: Reynolds on August 04, 2006, 04:49:09 PM

I have several:

109 Emil (Ive started liking the Emil more than the others, but i love any 109)
Me 262 (Never got to fly one yet. I know ill suck at it, but i still love her!)
La5 (My best plane. I am a biatch with an La5, but almost never fly one!)

In real life... Same thing. But instead of the La5, that little russian... Il 6, or I 16... i dont remember exactly what its called, but it was one of the first ever mono-wings, and late in the war they stuck a ram-jet in its tail!

It's Polikarpov I 16, Reynolds, dubbed Rata in the Spanish civil war.

I'm glad to see many people like the C.205, it's a great plane, it would be great to have even another nice italian plane, the Fiat G.55 Centauro....
