– Omer Lévesque – Bob Hoover – Jan Zurakowski – François Guay (a dear friend, ex-RCN Avenger pilot) – Jacques Lacombe (me Dad!)
Shiden was built as a float plane and then converted to a land plane!
Ok, I had just read about the Griffon being downdraft. I’ll tell that guy that he’s speaking ********!
Isn’t the Griffon a downdraft carb too?
And the Griffon Spits have an intake on the belly, like every proper Spits have?
Yes.
And his “chaff” contraption to fool the enemy missiles!
Oh, ok!
I get it now!!
Hey, they don’t comply with FAA regulations in that movie, they fly in the cabin with a sword.

Was he that old fumanchu chinese guy?
Mae Pae or some bloody name?
Or the silly kamikaze thing with the Jap!
Daz, yes!
I love the P-51 painted as a Focke-Wulf!
