RE: 3 Good Aeroplanes!

Nice pic, pitty there aren’t enough to make a tri sqdn pic 🙂

When push comes to shove, don’t stand near a cliff

Best single engined fighter-bomber of WW2?

First of all, Rabie, the the question was about fighter-bomber not ground attack, ruling out the Il-2

As for my answer on this, it’s a close tie, between the Fw-190D-9 of 1944 (it had the speed the range, the power and the manouverability) or the Yak-9DD which had all of the above plus the armour of the Il-2.

All the rest are very good and I wouldn’t knock back a chance to fly in any of them. I have to make special mention to the CAC Boomerang, though it originally started out as a fighter, it did end up as a fighter bomber, and could carry a good enough load. The only let down for it was the twin wasp radial, now this is a good and reliable engine, but it was down rated when it was used in the Boomerang. Some one seriously screwed up there 🙁

This is trully a work of art, it really makes you wonder how anything that big could fly.

I know this is a bit late, but I’m only a new member!

There’s a connie flying down here, named “Connie”. It’s in QANTAS markings but is an old USAF MATS super constellation. I’ve been through it and was un-impressed, and the fact that they make you pay to walk through it is unbeliveable. I perfered the good old C-47
