Yea thanks, did not have to post one if ya don't want too.

I can certainly see the attraction to Mustangs, and these are great shots.
But I have some kind of Mustang phobia, they just seem too fragile, open and the pilot is just asking for trouble sitting in that little bubble. I think it has something to do with a previous flightsim experience, too many crashes in what I seem to recall as a very twitchy flight model. It might be time for me to give it another go.

With all going on during WWII , surprisng North American looked at the 51 for carrier operations , would have been a better choice for the Seafire regard's to the UC .

Oh i can a Antonov An-124-100-M that would be hard. A hard to land plane on it would be the Yak-3 because of it's tendancey to pull to the left after touch down and during takeoff. Or the Ye-200 i think it was that it was a prototype from Mig it was very fast and very narrow UC

Was tests done in Sep 1939 and aircraft were equipped with arrestor gear but canceled late 1940 due Hitlers lack of insight for having major surface fleet , fortunate the same idiotic desicion with the build off heavy bombers , guess had he started the war later Sea Mustangs may have come into fruition ... lucky he was an idiot .

Amen to that. He was an idiot fighting Russia and Usa at the same time, who could have fought the Russians alone and won, goes for both Us and R but both at the same time.
