Stang 2

[Splitpin]

The older P-51.....have to be honest, the more i fly this,(and the D) ....the less appealing the spitfire becomes......OH, I can hear the "accusim" crowd screaming from here .........Im sure you will have a stang soon....in the meantime the Warbirdsim is the one

Don Gentile , 8th Air Force , The P-51/B/C sorta missed the boat for me , with the D Taffy come s to mind

During the war years, over England, I'll bet there were many chances for RAF and USAAF pilots to try each other on. The Spits and Mustangs - how did they compare against each other - would make interesting reading.

This mustang is definitely on my to buy list.

I have read the compares between the both , the pilots swapped and tried their hand in mock combat , the Spit was said to have a slightly higher work load in watching temps and med alts but both pilots agreed both as good except for the 51 long legs .

Both beautiful aircraft, Im just not that keen on the early spits...i love them , but not as photogenic as the Pony. The last spit was a beauty....with the bubble canopy....

The MkXIV , Tims nightmare machine , dang that was one pretty machine , VE day celebrations 1995 put the power into perspective , one wheel end up in a pothole on the runway edge , Mark Hanna tried to gun the engine to get it out , and jezz you had to see the fuse and wing tweak and twist to the share torch , one very powerful aircraft !

Nothing beats the P51D in my book too. I enjoyed your screenshots the other day in your D model ride! These are still very nice screenshots though!
