For the 1995 airshow season a team of four Mustangs existed known as the Four Horsemen. I would like to attempt to re-create this team in fs2004 using Warwick Carter's wonderful P-51D.

I have already drawn out a display plan in rough, loosely based on videos of the Four Horsemen's routine, and am working on a promotional video. I need three people, all of whom are relatively skilled at the controls of the Mustang and will be committed to the team. (This does not mean i have given up on the Eagles!  Grin)

If you're interested reply here with what aircraft you want to fly (click the aircraft names to download the texture - you need Jumpin' Jaqcues first as it contains the model.)

Moonbeam McSwine (lead aircraft) - Canuck
Twilight Tear (left aircraft) - Mictheslik
Old Crow (right aircraft) -  Low_n_fast
Jumpin' Jaqcues (rear aircraft and solo) - Mrjake2002

Hope you're interested.  Smiley

If no one wants the left position (old Crow) I would love to fly with you guys! I love the P51 and this is a great way to show the beauty and the ability of this awesome aircraft.

Put me down as tentative because I can't figure out how to install the texture and my computer isn't helping.

During practice today jake, your's and mic's aircraft disappeard for about ten seconds at a time and then showed up ahead of me or to the side. Is this a problem with my computer or your computer  Huh. The framerates were fine for me so I don't think it was a display issue.

It is probably a connection issue....where are you located in the world and what speed connection do you use?

I found an online airshow and teams are the theme of the show.

http://www.airshowbuzz.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2124

Here's a link which contains the details. If you are interested in performing at this airshow then we could practice a routine that is very similar to the two horsemen act that is flown at airshow today. These maneuvers can be flown just as well with four planes as with two. Let me know if we are going to fly before Dec. 31 because that is the signup date.
