This is going to be good!
Hmmm, time to get the brown paint out and give my mustang a coat.

Hawaii or Egypt, I dont care, I'm in my new P40 so I'm good whatever the venue.

Sounds good

You could have made a rhyme with that!
Hawaii or Egypt, I dont care, I'm in my new P40 so Show me the beer? So Lets get in the air? So Where is my hair? So lets go to the fair?

First I thought, "Hey, I've already got my FSX P-40 working in P3Dv4, so WTF?" Then I looked in the P-40 forum and saw where I'd posted all those times begging A2A to pleeze release my P-40 in P3D, so I figured it was too late to shut up, so now I had to put up. I now have the new, improved P-40 in P3Dv4, and it flies just like my old P-40. Maybe we'll get some of that rain in Egypt so we can see those rain effects! I am now fully ready to boogie in the P-40, Spitfire, T-6, or the P-51!

The T-6 will be way too slow unless we're all flying them. Anybody in a Mustang will get there first, unless they're flying top cover for us in our slower P-40s or Spitfires. What will we all be flying?

Meanwhile, I saw this great video starring Ronnie Raygun on Zenos Warbird Drive-in!: http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/Fight ... tions.html.
Here's another one about the P-40: http://zenoswarbirdvideos.com/P-40.html.

"What will we all be flying?"

I think we should go with P-40, P-47, Spitfire, or Mustang, desert camo required.

My choice:

OK - I'm ready.
