A Poll, FSX Freeware Aircraft Wish List

[Paul Domingue]

I am working on several aircraft models and some are primarily for the purpose of learning spline modeling techniques. I have not been able to get enthusiastic about any of them. I thought that I would ask the SOH community what aircraft they would like to see go into development for FSX as freeware. Maybe this would stimulate my modeling appetite. I would very much like to hear from all of you on this subject but with the caveat that it must be military or used in some capacity by the military and is no longer in service.

Let the poll begin,

Paul

[Walter]

As one of my favorite aircraft, I would like to see a Boulton-Paul Defiant for FSX. Nobody has made one as of now.

Cheers!

- Walter

[Mach3DS]

No Payware will touch this, as it's not going to be a huge seller, but I've been wishing for one for ages! :) It's got some great shapes to get right, which would give LOTS of practice! I wouldn't even care if it were not mated with a VC, I could solve that easy enough. as well as the FDE...In fact a friend of mine would love the chance as modeling the FDE.

As much as I love Rick Piper's fs2004 offering, a native model would be icing on the cake :)

[Firekitten]

Either an fsx native c207, or more importantly... a decent C119...

Put me down for a Cessna T-37 "Tweety Bird."

any military - any era ?

[TheGrunt]

Ryan FR Fireball would be nice, but don't know if SDK supports two different type of engines on the same plane. If it does, Fireball would probably be a fun and interesting project. Fireball is IMO very underrated and forgotten aircraft. It was nonethless USN's first jet engined aircraft, even though its operational history was short :wiggle:

[Naismith]

Noorduyn Norseman
Seconded!

[Naismith]

Or a Canuck - there was a great one years ago (FS2000?) but its way past its sell by date now. ???

[Bradburger]

A nicely done & accurate native Hawker Hurricane IIa, b, & c, (or all marks!) is what I'd like for FSX. :jump:

And like Roger, a native Chipmunk wouldn't go amiss either, nor would a BP Defiant (good choice Walter).

Cheers

Paul

[Butcherbird17]

All the above would be nice. But we need some Japanese a/c like the A6M Zero (there is a payware version), Ki 43, Ki 61. Or an F4u1 Birdcage Corsair. Heck it don't have to be a player flyable version.
I'll take some low poly AI versions to populate the Solomon43 scenery. Would be nice to be out on
patrol over the slot and tangle with a couple zero's then to meet up with a Cessna or Mooney.:icon_lol:
That's my wish/dream.

Joe

[Ferry_vO]

Paul, I find the best Fs aircraft out there (Free and payware) are usually a labor of love, and without that it is very hard to spend a lot of time on a model. Now I can make a thousand suggestions but since you will have to do all of the work only you can pick that one special aircraft that you really want to do. And whatever you decide, I'm sure we'll be happy with it.

[SeanTK]

My vote is for something unusual...

Kaman HH-43 Huskie

Actually... a defiant would be good.


And no, fsx can't support two different engine types.

[Rubberlegs]

I am working on several aircraft models and some are primarily for the purpose of learning spline modeling techniques. I have not been able to get enthusiastic about any of them.

Hey Paul.!....I'm really not all that fussy..so whatever you decide to make will be just grand....... providing of course it comes out looking like a "YAK-28 BREWER"..! Ha !

Paul, for me, a C-119 or C-46 would be very welcome. However, surely you need to think about which aircraft you yourself are interested in, before considering other people's wishes, don't you ? You would need that motivation to keep going through the long process of producing a model.

And I just know you are hugely interested in ... the C-119 and the C-46 ! :icon_lol:

[aeronca1]

I'd love to see an FsX Chipmunk:jump:

If it includes the Canadian bubble canopy version, then +5 to this request!

Every aircraft is a labor of love to the person who is working on it.......
Yes their are many out here for us to use, and many, many more that have not or never made.....
Find an aircraft that is important to you, or has special meaning to you.....even if it is one that is available now. We are always looking for more and better aircraft to fly.....
My Vote would be for a better version of one of these 2 aircraft......
The Brewster Buffalo, or even the Australian Boomerang.....
Or even a real nice version of the SPAD XII.....

[Matt Wynn]

That would be a +2 (Walter, Firekitten, myself) on the B-P Defiant - a very interesting aircraft indeed!!

Add the single seat Kaman K-Max to that request as well, please.

8995689955

[TuFun]

Something to go along with your Duck! "Grumman F3F-2 Barrel" or a Curtiss P-6E Hawk!

89958 89974

[OleBoy]

Not meant to misdirect the topic, although Paul did say "aircraft"

I've thunk (?) what my next model may be when I get finished with my current.

The Kaman K-Max I'd considered mainly for the creation challenge. I know nothing about systems. So others of knowledge would be needed as/to create a team to see the project to fruition.
Also, resource searches (on my part) didn't come up with much to go by aside from small 3-views and not-so great images. Documentation is a must have (for me) to even consider it.

Noorduyn Norseman

+3 for the Norseman.

To keep to the OT, let's do any correspondence in another or by PM.:salute:

[WarHorse47]

How 'bout a Yak-3 or Yak-9??

[fsxar177]

How 'bout a Yak-3 or Yak-9??

I'll add an amen to that, even a 3UR, or -11 would be sweet also.

[TeaSea]

C-119 Fairchild.....I know there is one, but it's a bit "aged" and we could use a re-worked model.

[Kevin Derby]

......Boeing B-17D Swoose please Sir.:salute:

[b52bob]

KC-135a or a B-47.

Otherwise T-37 tweetybird

Hi Skyhawka4m,

What type of aircraft is that? Some Pre-WWII Belgian type?

Craig.

[jonraptor]

I'd like to see a Nanchang Cj-6....I'm no modeler but I've been playing with the idea of creating one myself.
89977

[jessie r.]

I'd love to see anything from Kaman either the Husky or Kmax would be great

[Daveroo]

the Norseman or a Cariboo

[Stefano Zibell]

the Norseman or a Cariboo

Plus one on the caribou or buffalo.

[maikchaos]

Would be amazing :applause:

IAR-80 from Romania.

:)

[dhasdell]

love the Defiant, nice lines, plus a turret for self defence

Actually the turret was for offence. That was one of the main weaknesses of the Defiant: no forward firing armament at all, plus a turret and second crewman being lugged around by the same engine as the Hurricane, which added nothing to the manoeuvrability.

[TheGrunt]

Yeah. Turret added weight and drag tremendously. Defiant succeeded a few times at first, mainly because german fighters at first mistakenly identified it as a Hurricane and attacked it from behind straight into the bullet storm of four .303s. After that for its inteded role, it was a disaster.

Still, Defiant was later on quite succesful as a night fighter before Mosquitos and Beaufighters replaced it. It had enough speed advantage over bombers and due to turret it could position itself quite freely related to the target and tail, head on or difficult deflection attacks weren't required. Interesting plane and wuould indeed be a nice model for the sim :wiggle:

[jankees]

A Norseman would be nice, but so would a C-46...

[dhazelgrove]

I'd love a Lightning T5, strangely enough.

Dave

[Bjoern]

If you've got no better ideas, I suggest a Mixmaster/Jetmaster.


Otherwise I'd do one someday.

[mgchrist5]

F-82 Twin Mustang

We're awash with P-51 Mustangs in FS....but the Twin variant seems to get no love!

[delta_lima]

My military bucket list ...


Transport: Lockheed Lockheed Jetstar. I consider it truly a sad waste the FSD model never got released. Yes, used by the NASA and USAF ... :)




UK Military: Seafire FR.47




US Military: North American FJ Fury. -2/-3/-4 - wouldn't matter which. Douglas D5D Skylancer.




USSR: Yake-28R Brewer




Other: Northrop M2F3 Lifting body




Even if only exterior models were available, and one needed to bolt on another native VC from a similar model - I'd be happy. For example, owners of the Milviz Sabre VC could employ it for the Fury - not perfect, but better than nothing ... No breach of IP, just a few tweaks to a few cfgs ....

DL

[ThinkingManNeil]

I like DL's mention of the M2-F3, so I'll mention my personal preference, the M2-F3's Northrop stablemate, the HL-10...

90007

N.

[Dumonceau]

A Fairey Battle would be nice, but so would a Miles Magister, an SV-4 Bis and above all, a Spitfire Mk.16!

[Montie]

A Boeing X-32, a F-101 Voodoo or a F/A-18G Growler is something I would like to see:salute:

[trucker17]

Something to go along with your Duck! "Grumman F3F-2 Barrel" or a Curtiss P-6E Hawk!

89958 89974


I'll second the Curtiss P-6E Hawk......
The one available now is nice but it does not do it justice.....

[Paul Domingue]

I have been monitoring the thread and reading every post. I am compiling everything in a spreadsheet with vote counts. So far some of the aircraft with multiple votes are some I have been considering and this is stimulating my appetite. There have been some suggestions that I had not thought about and find quite intriguing.

To those whom have suggested them, I need to add fixed wing only. That is because I can't fly a helo to save my life. :frown:

No X planes please. The aircraft must have served in a military capacity and is no longer in service by the military. My reasoning behind this is that it is probably easier to find reference material on obsolete aircraft. Any nationality is OK and any era aircraft.

I have considered a few of the hybrid jet/prop combos but it would be to difficult to do this in FSX without external programming.

It has been mentioned that I would need to have a particular fondness for the aircraft and anything I make would be welcome. To that I say that I have a fondness for all aircraft and I would like to make something that my SOH brothers and sisters would like to have in their hanger as well as myself.

I'm going to wait until the thread wears out then I will post the results. Please keep up the suggestions and votes for those that have been suggested.

To simplify things I have only taken the first suggestion from posts with multiple suggestions as I think the first one is the posters true desire, so please suggest one aircraft or vote for one already suggested.

This is turning out very nice indeed.

Paul

[heywooood]

Paul - I really appreciate you taking the time and care to consider making a fan favorite aircraft for the SOH natives - much appreciated

As much as I would like to see the Norseman in FSX and done to your well qualified standards..TuFun reminds me of the F3F-2 (or any) Grumman Flying Barrel
probably the most important Grumman aircraft or any aircraft in US history for that matter, having been the predecessor to the Wildcat, Hellcat and every other 'cat ever since....

Someone needs to build that tribute to Roy for FSX someday - :kilroy:

[voyager]

A Grumman F3F-2 would be nice

I posed this to Paul's when he was doing the Duck and mentioned the F3F-2 had a lot of similarities and would be nice project to do. F3F-2 is my favorite due to the colors of the period and also the Gulf version.

I remember Aeroplane Heaven was going to do an FSX version, and checked many a times, but never materialized.

[ColoKent]

...on the wish-lists in this thread....to wit:

- T-37B (would look gorgeous in mid-60's bare metal ATC UPT scheme)
- F-82E and F-82G
- Lockheed Jetstar

Here are a few others:

- Fokker F-27 to include Maritime Enforcer variant
- Lockheed U-2C
- Boeing B-50D

Just my .02 cents...

Kent

[skyblazer3]

Raptor Said NANCHANG.... I think we need to respect that CJ-6

90037

[Sundog]

Grumman F9F-8 Cougar. I would also like the F9F-8T (http://www.blueangels-usn.org/images/aircraftpics/cougar/8t_2.jpg), because the two seat version is one of the nicest looking subsonic fighter trainer designs ever built IMHO. The Twosader (http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj287/fliermike/TF-8Aleftsr.jpg) comes close, though.
Yak-11, including the modified air racing variant with the P&W Engine.
Grumman F3F-2 Barrel
Grumman F11F-1 Tiger
F-82
B-17D
And, because I've always liked it, a Bernelli CBY-3 (http://www.aircrash.org/burnelli/ch_cby3.htm).

[Naki]

Another vote here for the Chipmunk and Yak 3. Failing that the Nanchang would also get my vote.

[Naismith]

Howz about a HP Halifax? a seriously overlooked a/c in FSX.

[PutPut]

Go for the F3F-2and /or a F-82.

Best, Paul

[rdaniell]

Well, I'm glad to see at least one other person would like to see a Cessna T-37. My passion for military aircraft runs toward the trainers. We have a T-6, T-34, and with Ant's latest release, a T-28. Someone is working on a T-33; therefore, a T-37 just should have a lot of appeal.

RD

[PHo17]

Everything is welcome but Brewster F2A-1 Buffalo is first on the list. It wasn't of great importance for the USA in the II World War but the more for our nation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_F2A_Buffalo).

There are a couple ones made for FS2004 but none for the FSX. To my knowledge there isn't any whole one Brewster in any air museum except the wrecked BW-372 which was found in a russian lake in 1990's.

Pekka

[dhazelgrove]

What about an Argosy, or Belfast?

Dave

[casey jones]

The Lockheed XF-90 was never put into production it was tested by Test Pilot
Tony Levier in the 1950's but failed to get a contract with the USAF.

[TARPSBird]

F9F-8/8P/8T Cougar. The 8T (TF-9J) version served well into the 1970's.

[Flyboy208]

For me, the top of my wish list will be the Pilatus P-3 Swiss Air Force trainer, have logged many hours in the real thing. Mike :salute:

[Mr.Mugel]

To throw in some favourites:


Fokker DVII
Ju-52 (Reminds me to port that pretty good FS9 one for a test, ah, and Aerosoft started work on a payware one too, so that will be covered enought, I guess)
Early Bf-109
Fairchild C-119
I read Yak-3, sounds pretty good, too!
Boeing 314 Clipper

[TeaSea]

Okay....since C-119 ain't going nowhere I second the Brewster nomination....:salute:

[fallenphoenix1986]

I'll second the Grumman Cougar.

Wouldn't mind a Sea Harrier FA.2. Ron (Razbam) made some noise a while ago about small wing Harriers and had previews of an early stage GR.1/AV-8A so fingers crossed.

Joe

[hairyspin]

Grumman F3F-2 would be an excellent choice, both for modeling and as an addition to the FSX hangar. I also wish people would stop judging the Defiant through post-war lenses: the thing was built to knock down bombers and was sent up against fighters because we needed all the guns in the air that could be found. It is reckoned the Defiant destroyed more enemy aircraft than any other British type in the winter of 40/41, but you don't read that in the Daily Mail etc.

[kilo delta]

No fair...he can take both of mine......please


I jest,of course!:icon_lol:

[Killbilly]

Chipmunk! Chipmunk! Chipmunk!

It is a true shame we don't have a great DHC-1 in FSX; but, of course, anything is very welcome.

[Sylvanriv]

What I would love to see is an early B-52, anything from the XB and YB-52 to the B-52 F. There's a surprising lack of the early ones out there...

Failing that, either an F-86D or an F-89 would be great!

We already have a Mr. Stolle air file for it .

Paul , since you say you are learning some techniques , well, the Chipmonk was/is a great trainer . :icon_lol: aerobatic too .

Its a lovely flyer and the FS9 version, whilst good, badly needs a renovation.

[huub vink]

Paul, thank you for this generous offer. Although I certainly have my personal prefeences, I decided to be happy with anything you make.

Asking for something would feel me obliged to fly it. As I ave already too many virtual aircraft just dusting away in my virtual hanger, reality tells me I don't have the time to fly it and even when I would, it would cause me to neglect other great model with a solid grey layer of dust on them.

As said a great offer, but I decided to show my less greedy side :icon_lol::engel016:

Your not going to get out of it that easy Huub! I'm going to let the vote count run through the weekend and then post the results. There are 5 aircraft tied for first place and a vote from you could break that tie. I'm depending on you to at least vote.

I am real easy going as you can see.

My little nephew has gotten all of the attention. Even my little twin nephew got its second comming just a couple days ago. What's wrong with me !???

You'll love me! I know you will!

Cheers,
Otty

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing this if the Defiant isn't picked! That's a neat plane! :icon_lol:

[N2056]

The choices are many
There can be only one
Flying Boxcar, please ;)

[mmann]

If the Noorduyn Norseman isn't picked then the de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter would be my second pick. That would be an Otter without the turbine or twin engines please. :jump:

[ericts]

Another vote for the Brewster Buffalo.

[SADT]

May I make a suggestion?

Once you've tallied up the results, could you maybe hold a final vote for maybe the top 3 or 5 finalists - as much I like the B-P Defiant, unfortunately I doubt it would make it - so for people like me, who voted for maybe an "unpopular" aircraft, could have a chance to have a say with the finalist, "popular" aircraft - from looking at what seems to be popular - there are certainly some of the higher polling, here I would vote for if the Defiant did not make it.

Maybe could it could be held in the form of an SOH thread poll - so we can all see the votes, I think you can select it as an option when you post..

Of course only if you agree!

Craig. :-)

What you suggest is exactly what I intended on doing. I was going to end the voting by Zulu 24:00 on the 14th, today or when the thread dropped to the second page as it has. So all votes beyond this post will not count.

There are six aircraft tied for first place so now we will vote on those six to determine the winning aircraft. My thanks to all those who suggested aircraft. There were many interesting suggestions that I had not thought of and are now on file for future consideration.

The following is the list of aircraft and votes based on this criteria; a suggested aircraft was added with one vote, with any multiple suggestions only the first aircraft was selected and given a vote, people who suggested an aircraft then later suggested another or voted on one and later changed their vote were not counted.

I don't know how to create a poll as you suggested so I will leave it as it is and we can continue the thread from here voting on the top six. Voting for the finalist will end on the 19th of this month @ Zulu 24:00 or when it drops to the second page which ever comes first. If there is still a tie I will make the final vote to break the tie.

Your not going to get out of it that easy Huub! I'm going to let the vote count run through the weekend and then post the results. There are 5 aircraft tied for first place and a vote from you could break that tie. I'm depending on you to at least vote.
If not we are all going to make ugly faces at you. :a1451:

[delta_lima]

Out of what's left, I'd happily welcome a T-37. Since it's the closest I think I'll ever come to a CT-114 Tutor in FSX, that'd be my choice. For most of the other choices, an-already reasonable FS9 freeware portover exists, and since I always wondered (but never bought) the old FSD Tweety, then that's where I'd land.

Paul, this is a generous and most unselfish offer - thanks for whatever you bring us.

Hey Walt......
.......Ok! Ok!...I'll going to step-down from wanting the Yak-28 Brewer and reluctantly admit you're probably right...there 'really' is a greater need for a BP Defiant for FSX. As for a Tweedy-Bird..it would have to have a great sound file to do it justice...they were a noisy little sucker!

Why should you do in FSX aircraft that are already made​​? Most aircraft on order already exists in FSX. Why do they new?

Jozef Košík

[Firekitten]

No they don't... And most if not all are fs9 port over conversions to x, and are dated now in either model or texture... So actually ,no, 99% of these have no 'good' version for them... things like the norseman and boxcar are aged fs2002 models... just because someone once made one, and its possible to fly in fsx, doesn't mean someone should make an up to date one.

[Paul Domingue]

Just keeping you on your toes... Boxcar.

It is a woman's prerogative to change her mind;
but it is my prerogative to decline.

Well, Huub my friend, looks like all my T-37 "Tweety Bird" buddies deserted me also as it is no longer tied with anything. I sure was hoping it had a chance of coming in first. After all it was and is a military airplane. But when it's all said and done, Paul is the final judge anyway. (Any room for me :kilroy:in the bomb shelter with you?)

I can at least hope that some of the other developers will give it serious consideration. (Whoops stuck my head :pop4:back out.)

This just in! Noorduyn Norseman is pulling ahead with the popular vote and has a six point lead over his rival Boulton Paul. It's still early and we have three days before the polls close.

Fairchaild Boxcar has just announced, due to poor voter turnout he is pulling out of the race.

We will return after this message from our sponsor for more live election coverage.

Paul is there some way you can check the ISPs of some of these people voting for the Norseman. I don't recognize their names. I think it is a conspiracy and the same two guys are making up new names and opening accounts here at the Outhouse. Probably from Chicago..."Vote early and vote often."

Hey if all you that voted for something other than the top three, throw in with me and vote for the T-37. That will give it a good lead.
I promise to put everyone of you'll to work for me. You know those kind of jobs that Tony Soprano used to get his guys on those construction jobs.

RD

I won't "throw in" for something that's not my cup of tea.

I remember when those planes would land here at KNQA and how LOUD the shrill from those engines...sounded like whistling $h*t cans. :icon_lol:

[expat]

I vote for the Grumman F3F-2 Barrel!

[Paul Domingue]

Paul is there some way you can check the ISPs of some of these people voting for the Norseman. I don't recognize their names. I think it is a conspiracy and the same two guys are making up new names and opening accounts here at the Outhouse. Probably from Chicago..."Vote early and vote often."

RD

It must be a Canadian conspiracy!

I'd like to thank all my supporters as well as my campaign staff for all your efforts but, looks like I must concede the race. I'm waiting to see what offers I get before I endorse either of the top two candidates. This has been fun!

[TheGrunt]

I already started to "get in the mood" by reading latest FlyPast magazine's Plane In Focus -articles about Defiant. Now it starts to seem, that I can't fly it virtually after all :a1451:

Well, other possible options aren't bad, so maybe my mind will settle :wiggle:

[FSX68]

Changed my mind.

I think the Norseman will win and it's a nice looking A/C and if it should win that's O.K. by me; although the F3F looks to be in a distant second place,
I still choose the F3F Barrel as my choice (vote). :salute:

Yeah, what he said ^ :icon_lol:

[skyhawka4m]

I think if the T-37 were to be done I would hop that the OA-37 variant would be part of it.....

Love me some PA ANG....

[Firekitten]

I wish people would stop putting suggestions down saying 'oh well its been done'... Yes, this is going to be an FSX NATIVE freeware project...

NONE of the aircraft people have said 'are done' are fsx native, or vaguely recent models. All are rather dated in fact hailing either from fs2002 or fs2004. Good in their times in most cases, thats not the point of this thread. Sure, argue the pros of your suggestion or vote, but quit with the 'oh some guy once made a 5 poly version of xyz airplane, thus we dont ever need one again'.

We Canucks sure are! If this had been an offer for an FSX aircraft carrier, we would all be behind the HMCS Bonaventure. :icon_eek:

[dhasdell]

On balance I think a Chipmunk, but the F3F is a close second.
If the Chipmunk has lost ground, I'll move to the F3F.

[nio]

to honour of the flightcrews, and in particular the gunners whose vulnerability to an attack from below or head on resulted in substantial losses , in this early WWII aircraft, I would vote for the BP Defiant.

Unfortunately once you vote it is counted and you can not vote again. But wait! there is more bad news. :icon_eek: See the news flash.

[Paul Domingue]

This news just in.
The mud slinging has started. In an attempt to destroy each others credibility some candidates have resorted to low level comments about each other. Defiant came out with this statement in a press interview. "Where was Nerdy Noorduyn when trouble was brewing? Playing in the snow in Alaska and Greenland and hobnobbing with Bob Hope and his friends. That's where." In rebuttle Noorduyn said about Defiant; They took your turret off and invited you into the fray of the BoB but did you show up? No!" The Barrel said; "I'm staying out of the mud slinging. It's all in bad taste." and then did an immelman, his idea of an about face. We caught up with T-37 and when asked what he thought, T-37 said; "I tawt I taw a puddy tat." The Chipmunk said; "I'm taking my nuts and going home. I'm done and concede the race." So we are down to just four candidates battling it out.

alright who's been buying votes? :icon_lol:

no amount of produce could buy my vote for the Norseman... well that's not true... a Diemaco C8 will buy my vote :icon_lol:


but come on, let's pull for the Defiant, it's an underdog, not massively known, but a very capable and adaptable aircraft, used by a fair few air forces RAF, RCAF, USAAC/F, RAAF..... besides with a Norseman you can't return fire if you're being chased across the Bush :icon_lol:


back to seriousness *clears throat*.... anything that gets done Paul i'm likely to fly... prefer to have my aircraft with spinning blades OUTSIDE the engine nacelles though :icon_lol: and boy is it good to see the community having a bit of a laugh!

I think what this all amounts to is, if you are from across the pond i.e. Europe you will be more inclined for planes made over there, that is understandable and
if you are from US of A (where I live) you will favor something made in US of A - at least most of us will. So this Tug of War ensues and it will not surprise me
who will win. As Sargent Schultz of Hogan Hero's would say I know Nothing.

[Matt Wynn]

yup... and to think this is what the Defiant was fighting to stop landing on British soil:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duX4tIFocvY

truly frightening (Gotta love 'Allo Allo' was a great show, still is :icon_lol:)

[Firekitten]

Americans do seem to prefer 'American made' but I think us Europeans are more pragmatic... I will remind you I voted for the Norseman :P or is Canukistanian not American enough?

Ya know, I am tired of all this. I am OUT of this contest and I really don't care about this.

I don't like the "DRAMA" here and it is all that I can do to bite my tongue and not say what I really would like to say. It is not worth raising my blood pressure
over this. I have enough real life problems of my own, for instance my father has lung cancer with 6-10 months to live!!

My 35 year old Daughter is Bi-polar and lives with me. My Wife is Type II diabetic... I put it all in God's hands and hope to hear an answer from him.......AND SOON!!!!

Thank you maam for your kind comments.

[Firekitten]

Yes, to clarify, that was in jest... Some of my best friends are Canadian.

[mmann]

..... besides with a Norseman you can't return fire if you're being chased across the Bush :icon_lol:

With the Norseman on floats, I can land on a lake and remove the anti-aircraft gun from the cargo area and blow your Defiant to (United) kingdom come. :running:

it's a possibility.... but in unloading i'm sure the Defiant would pull a tight enough turn to do a spooky number with the turret :icon_lol:

[mmann]

Admit it, you Brits are just ticked off because it was a Norseman that crashed into King Alfred's tower in 1944 and you didn't get around to repairing it (the tower not the Norseman) until 1986. :icon_eek:

[CP1207]

Yes, to clarify, that was in jest... Some of my best friends are Canadian.

Half of me is Canadian and I went with the BP. I remember reading stories of how it was decimated in WWII and have always been interested in how it might fly in our little virtual world.

That said, Paul did indicate he had been looking at several projects. Perhaps he will take on more than one:jump:
(Please. Worthy candidates all).

[Paul Domingue]

Be careful, we don't want to rehash 1812. It's looking like only a few people are beating there gums so to speak/type and no more voters are showing up so I think it may be time to declare the winner. What do you think?:wiggle:

Okay,

Since I can see that my choices are not going to go anywhere and will fall by the wayside, I hereby announce that my vote is in fact for sale.....

A Harley Davidson and 5 Gallons of Avgas would seem to be adequate birth control.
