No Black Cats? It's like you don't even want to keep the Japs awake all night by throwing out whistling beer bottles over their bases all night (with a grenade with every 3rd bottle or so)!

Quad .50 nose mount, 2 500 lb and 2 250 lb bombs, a dual .30 nose turret, and .50s in the waist blisters, plus all the hand tossed frag bombs and empty beer bottles the Navy could get. Circle their air bases all night, and randomly drop high explosives so they can't sleep.

The first is a Russian experimental bomber that didn't make it out of trials testing, the second is a P-47 testbed with a different, larger engine using a shaft driven supercharger instead of a turbo-supercharger, and cutting down the length of the intercooler intake ducting. The reason for the production P-47's egg/jug shaped hull is to house all of the ducting to the rear-mounted turbo-supercharger.

The way I see it, both the training and funeral are optional. You can opt out of the training if you're willing to pay for the funeral.

I like pretty much everything that fits the pattern. The Japanese F-1 is another example.

>>33494848
>>33495146
Personally it's not the danger that stops me from being interested in ultralights, it's that I want to fly so I can fly TO places, not just buzz around.

I think I'm gonna start working on my license again soon, and maybe even consider trying to make a career out of it. I wouldn't at all mind flying corporate charters or freight feeders or whatever for a living.
