The first people to download 20-FX might notice something odd about the textures, but that has been resolved, so just download again please.

Jack Spanich used to live in Southern California in the 1960s and early 1970s and he owned a Goodyear FG-1 Corsair. However, he always wanted to get a Skyraider. After he moved to the Detroit area, he had an opportunity to bid on French Skyraiders.
He only wanted one but the minimum bid was for 10 aircraft so he bid on a lot of 10 aircraft and his in France. N91935 and N91945 flew to the US together, looking like the pictures above, via the UK, Ireland and Iceland in 1977. The French then wanted to buy the remaining aircraft back and Jack resold the remaining 5 back to the French, who in turn sold them to Gabon. Back in the States, Jack put 4 of the Spads up for sale and kept one himself. Both aircraft depicted here are still airworthy in the US as far as I know.

I thought you’d been quiet for a little bit! Yay!…

Well, yay for the community. I haven’t switched to 2024 yet myself, still trying to set it up so it’s usable for me. But I’m happy for the community!

Looking good. The Zero by Blackbird or Aeroplane Heaven?

Blackbird it is

It is such a wonderful plane from Blackbird. Btw, do you know why the Zero paints are so worn compared to other WW2 warbirds?

probably because they were based in the tropics, you see similar things on US aircraft, especially those on forward land bases in the Pacific, like some of the Corsairs. And maybe the quality of their paint wasn’t that good?
