SOH P-61 project

[A26]

To the Team,
I'm glad to see that they were able to bring her back to the US, too many Warbirds are been ship off to overseas locations. It is truly sad that many will
never make it back home.
My grandfather was a Seabee’s during WWII and was on the CVE-98 USS Kwajalein. He saw several shot up birds land on deck and then pushed
overboard.
My Dad was in USAF in the 60's Korea/Vietnam AC-47's, T-28's, B-26'S, AC-119's, and F-4's (without guns), he saw many shot up and then scrapped.
Being sheet metal technician in the USAF, I can really appreciate all of the hard work being done on the her.
What you guys are doing by creating a detailed model for us simmers to enjoy is absolutely awesome and greatly appreciated by all of us warbird NUTS.
Sometimes it just has to be said, THANKS!

I remember Shadow very well. A lot of us ground pounders are still alive because of her and her crews. Tell your dad i said thank you.
I was at my normal post on the back side of the Nha Trang perimeter one night when all of a sudden shadow opens up with her four mini guns about 2 klicks out. Within seconds, there were all kinds of secondaries going off. If it hadnt been for shadow, all that ammo would have been headed in my general direction.
Stay alive, and come home safe. ok??

Warchild,

My Dad work specifically on the miniguns during his time in the service (AC-47's, F-4's, AC-130's and some AC-119's). He said it was something special being on board during real mission seeing all his work put to good use especially at night. He will be glad to hear about your day, who knows he might have been up there slinging some lead for you.

YOU ALL are doing a superb job on this baby! WOW what a TEAM!

[warchild]

Thanks Tex..

I've been tossing this plane around now for just over a month and, we've been building her as the fighter she was, to be honest, she's wonderful.. But i got a major reality check today of just how wonderful this plane was, and is in that, in flight sim, its hard not to imagine her as a nice little fighter, BUT... ::lol::

its on the file browser. Lots of changes by myself and Tom both including a solid movement towards compressibility..


With the next release we should be at a stage where we are just fine tuning the FDE and solidifying it..

Pam:

Adjusted the 433 table last night and get the start of a mach tuck at M.68 and if one continues past into the midt- hi .7's, it becomes uncontrollable....

Probably won't have time to shoot it to you this AM....
