If HTC modeled something like a Mk. 17 or Mk. 21, the hangars would still rebuild in a few minutes.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

If it weighs 17k it must also weigh 14k...

But, I like your picture better!

What about radiation? The whole area would be "hot" for at least a few realtime days.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Notice the before and after pics.  One of the islands is gone.  The crater (dark spot) is 6240 feet in diameter.  Also this was primarily a fission weapon, with lots of nasty fallout.It was hot for more than a few days.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

A fully loaded late model 47 was almost 20000 i thought. If they put a 47 here lets have the hot rod m model. The dive brakes might allow it to win a few. Everything here holds e to well. The m would be just the ticket.

A p51 carrying 2000 lbs of bombs.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Honestly, I'd like to see the p47 here, but lets try to get the N model to make it more competitive.  (>D-25 at least.)

430mph at 30k isn't competitive? I agree with >D-25, but not M/N.

PS: A P-51D with 2000lbs of bombs would weigh 12,000lbs.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
