Jug with three names
« on: June 28, 2020, 10:22:39 AM »
Thanks to Lyric1 for finding the info for this skin, which is a request from Nefarious.

This razorback P-47D-5 was paid for with War Bonds purchased by Republic Aircraft employees who named it "Republic Employees Racer". In service it was shared by two pilots of the 328th Fighter Squadron who each had one side of the fuselage decorated with their own personal nose art. The left side featured Lt James Laing's "Jamie Boy", while the right side had Lt Robert H. "Punchy" Powell Jr.'s "The West, By Gawd, Virginian" across a map of his home state. Lt Powell survived his tour with the 328th scoring 5 kills in P-47s and P-51s but Lt Laing was shot down over France in 1944 and ended the war as a POW.

Incredible skin, glad you were able to make it come to life.

Now, if someone could do Punchy's 352nd "West by Gawd Virginian"...  ;)
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I've been through the desert in a Jug with three names
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

I've been through the Melee in a Jug with three names
It felt good to be out of the Main
