Hi Cat
Long time no hear - I think at I/ITSEC?
Maybe sounded like in this video?

Hope you will like the forthcoming DCS:Mig 21!

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

FWIW they don't have turbos, they have either a single-stage or two-stage supercharger, designed by Sir Stanley Hooker in the early 1940's.

JimMack-

What?! DCS: MiG-21?! Seriously? No joke?? I'm in like Flynn for that. The MiG-21PFM or -bis, or Elbit's "Lancer" or even the MiG-21/93...hell, even the original F-13 given the DCS treatment would get me back into flying sims, at least for awhile. Yes, it was I/ITSEC a couple years ago where I met you and Dr. Tishin, and Matt, and the whole gang, for the A-10 preview. What a cool experience that was. And yes, the P-51 sounds EXACTLY LIKE THAT.

Ajay-

Er...well, I can't talk about active cases but let's just say that I have one defendant that might fit that description and who certainly would have the experience in P-51s. Eerie.

Miao, Cat

Any chance that the kitten called in a JTAC strike on his pursuer? :-)
