I know, I know - We have a ton of them - BUT - I've been craving this skin for a LOOOOOooooong time. Even if it doesn't make it in-game, I'd like to have it for offline.
I'm currently looking for color photos but this is what I'll post for now. :)

Looks like he had a rough landing.

Lol there is a photo of that happening.
He was coming in for a landing and as he touched down his right gear randomly collapsed, but he was able to save the aircraft.

Thank you! I've wasted probably 8 hours looking up information on this aircraft. I fail. :o
Again, thank you very much!

OH... I don't think it is a failure. I saw the same path you were on. The key is the serial #, if you have that and a known accident...go for that 1st. You will usually get the squad, the pilot, what happened, where etc...
The only question I have is ...the guy you got the serial # from. He was looking for Drip & Dick and was right with that. Where did he get the # for "Is This Trip Necessary" from? Possible he has some good photo software and got it off the plane? Is there another picture? Who knows! Still dont have the squad # for the plane.
Maybe you could mail him or post on that board.

Good ol' bump for anyone who would be interested in skinning this for me.

New P51 skins have been banned. No more time is to be wasted on P51 skins. ;)

Willing to take a bet on that one?
They did increase the number of skins per plane you know. :aok

*throws thread* Yay! More people r see now!
In all seriousness....Anyone willing to make this skin? >.>;;;
I HATE flying ponies but I would fly them over and over and over if this skin was made. :o

They also said the existing backlog/queue will fill those slots on a few key planes.
