I'm hoping that this means MAAM will bring out a Flightsim P-61 on par with their other beautiful planes

The P-61 restoration is taking a long time, but then again, they started with wreckage of an aircraft that does not have an abundance of spare parts sitting in a warehouse somewhere. How many complete P-61's are there in the world today? Three, and one of those is in China. The MAAM P-61 will be the fourth.

Thought someone has a P-61 in development for FSX now.
Little birdie told me a Mosquito might be on the way too.
I think this is going to be a very good year... :jump:
