What a lovely aircraft! Finally getting comfortable with taking off, landing is still kinda... interesting. In a OHMYGAWDNOTAGAIN kind of way...

Same here ... got takeoffs now ... but i think i need special skid plates installed under the right wing for landings biggrin

Dont think of it as being vastly outnumbered ... but just having a large target selection.

The only thing more accurate than incoming fire, is incoming friendly fire

Tracers work BOTH ways...

Gotta admit that I want this. Going to have to wait til it comes down to 19.99, though. But, she sure is purty. Gonna have to get my Spitfire fix over at CLoD. But, boy, do I want cannons!

Yeah, I wish the Team Fusion guys would go ahead and release that Spitfire 5 that they've been working on. That thread is for another place, however, so I will return you to your regularly scheduled program.
