I was thinking if it was worth the risk of rising the flying dead by posting it, but you take advantage.

I'd watch it but it's that greg dude that I consider an effing blowhard. (Not OUR greg btw).
North America's P-51? Really, you can't even get that right?

We only need to get to the end of page 250 to get 5,000 posts!
That is 21 pages and 14 posts to go!

Should have the left-hand boom as a pusher. That way the boom could be loaded with more 37mm M4 cannons.
Yes. The right can pull, the left can push, then the spin can start as you take off. Might as well get it over and done with.....

Could speed that up by having them pull in opposite directions.
Can you imagine landing this contraption in a gusty crosswind?
What was it like landing a P-38, P-61 or an F-82 in a crosswind?
Awkward, especially the F82 with its asymmetric cockpit and taildragger configuration.

Did it need a heater or was the heat supplied by the enemy?
I think it was from embarrassment…

Two questions:
How much ammo did he have aboard during these maneuvers?
How many Bob Hoovers did the USAAC have at the time?
