That was my first thought as well.  But this one is even more weird!

It takes a special plane to make the Gee Bee look normal.  :cool:

 :rofl  :aok


Use to race the geebees in another sim years ago,extra points if you could put the gear in the river water without crashing. IIRC it was a MS sim so it wasn’t all that hard to roll the wheels in the water.

Another Caproni design, Caproni Campini N.1

Powerplant: 1 × motorjet , 6.9 kN (1,600 lbf) thrust consisting of a 670 kW (900 hp) Isotta Fraschini L.121 R.C.40 piston engine driving a three-stage, variable-pitch axial compressor with an afterburner

And I thought the F6F was created by an engineer who told his kid to draw an airplane and then made it a blueprint.
