Title: Plane wish - IAR.80
Post by: BMathis on August 26, 2010, 04:16:19 PM: Stemming from Nemisis' Thread, I was looking into the Romanian IAR 80/81s...

There are many variants to the plane; It's a Romanian Born Monoplane, and sexy IMO too! In service from 1939- 1944 ish?

Post by: Nemisis on August 26, 2010, 04:29:20 PM: +1 would also like the IAR. 80C. Has pretty much the same loadout as the spits V-IX.

And it is sexy. A little reminiscent of the F4U, IMO.

Again, wrong. The IAR 81c.

I've championed for this plane, for the better part of 6 years.
