Well, if the book "America's Hundred Thousand" (Francis H. Dean) is to be believed... TOP SPEED P-47M = 470mph P-47N = 460mph P-51D = 440mph Because of the P-47s turbo system, the Thunderbolts speed increased as altitude climbed. The P-51D speed fell off sharply above 25,000ft... ACCELERATION P-38L = 4.13 ft per second P-47M = 4.02 ft per second P-51D = 3.85 ft per second (These data are originally sourced from the "Report of Joint Fighter Conference: NAS Patuxent Riuver, MD, Oct 1944, and reported in the many other sources. These are real data, not wishful thinking or imaginative history...) Personally, I would have taken a P-47. I would have hated to ride the silk elevator because some jugend with a BB gun who got a lucky shot on a radiator hose... As for range, the P-47N was the US WWII champ with the longest legs... 996 gallons would get you a clean 1000 mile range at 25,000ft with a 30 minute reserve and 20 minutes of combat time. The P51D with external tanks only got 700 miles with those conditions... One last thing, if you are a Mustang fan, DO NOT read the comments by Naval LT Halaby on page 241 of the Fighter Conference Report... You'll only get mad and go into revisionist history denial...

Maybe Wings Over New Guinea... wait, that would just be WONG...

Wow... one plane = 5% of the B-2 force...

Well, if I could do more than shovel snow in my spare time... Every other night, every other early morning... we've got 5' piles by the corners of the sidewalk and end of the driveway... At least I am in great shape now!!

The frontline can start and end on one side if you want; it just has to separate one area from another... The frontline is defined by the points listed... You do not have to have all points displayed on the briefing map however... Startshow = the first point on your frontline list that will be shown on the map Endshow = the last point on your frontline map that will be shown on the map... Start and end show have nothing to do with targets. Only defines the friendly and enemy "sides" (or area if you prefer...)

Yes, frontline must extend from zero edge to another zero edge. It does not have to north-south or east-west... Only that it closes off a section of the map from the rest... Show means that frontline point is displayed on mpa, as Gocad noted...

Don't do it.... Just don't... no... Very dangerous...

I agree; intolerance, ignorance and fear from enlightened pseudo intellectual atheists is much better...

Pilot bailed and is ok... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,327786,00.html

The Strike Fighters series already supports this... Would be cool...

Well, you need to know if your Dell motherboard has a PCI-Express slot available for the new video card... Also, you will want to make sure that your monitor will work with the DVI port on the card....

My contest was not rigged... Fates is just more knowledgeable about the internet and where to find information...

Keep it up, Dude... I never said what I'd buy you for lunch... Dont' they deep fried coleslaw there?

I doubt you have been scared, or even a tiny bit nervous, as you proceeded to pound this little punk into a seat full of bloody pudding...

Well, that would certainly make a nice base for SF... seriously... really... :yes:

Well, at least you have the Airzoo close by, Longestpants...

Mr USAFBLT w/cheese can always eat himself... wait, that sounds bad, doesn't it...

What? Questioning my credulity??? oh my....

Now that would be a good time... :yes:

Looks like we have a winner!!1!11!!! Next trip to the USAF museum, I'll let you know so we can have lunch at the world famous Valkyrie Cafe
