Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Thanks.

I painted this one a few months back, right after I did Skyboss. I just have not flown her lately. This is the aircraft I put on a Cafepress mug for my son. He loves Corsairs, as do I. Nothing in the air sounds or looks like them.

That's a lot of kills - is this Mr Blacksheep himself?

Yup. According to my information, he never actually flew the particular bird I have the picture of. It was a mock up for a photo op. But, the same data says the copy was accurate. And yes, that is an awful lot of kills.

Thanks.

I've been into warbird for a long time, I just don't fly them a lot, for whatever reason. I guess a lot of it is due to my lack of military AI, other than modern Navy. And I don't have the fps to run MAIW's at full slider. Plus my favorite F-14 has been dead for a long time, and I have no idea why.

Think he got 26 before being captured and imprisoned in Japan. Met him once, when I was a teenager in Denver. He had a book signing in conjunction with getting his son started in the AF Academy. Still have the book, signed Gregory 'Pappy' Boyington - quite a guy.

Wow! That must have been a treat for you.
