The P-51 Mustang Purist Club / Simulator / PS3

[olife]

hello guys

just to speak of a real story of ww2 about the P51,it is the story of a mustang pilot called WILLIAM ARTHUR SHOMO of 82nd tactical recon squadron,USAAF.the nickname of his p51 was the flying undertaker

the legend of the flying undertaker:

january 11st 1945 captain william arthur shomo and his wingman 2nd lieutenant paul m lipscomb (f6d)take off at san jose airfield in the island of mindoro,phillipines...
over aparri ,the 2 americans saw 33 japs planes...us pilots came behind a first group of ki61 tony fighters,japs pilots didn't see them...at 25 meters shomo open fire,the first ki61 explosed,and the second many seconds later...2 kills for shomo!!in same time lipscomb destroyed an other...shomo now destroyed his third casualty and lipscomb his second...quickly shomo destroyed a g4m betty bomber and lipscomb his third ki61,and shomo 2 others jap fighters!!!!!...7kills for shomo and 3 for lipscomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shomo receive the medal of honor for this action,and for the "little" story ,lipscomb was so new and without experience with his f6d mustang that he was not able to do the"victories rools" over his airfield!!!

shomo is the top ace scorer of the usaaf in 1 mission with his 7 kills

the funny thing is that those 2 pilots were a recon pilots and not a fighter pilots!!

That's a bummer.. Still I'm sure you'll be blowing my tail off sooner rather than later! Haha.

Hi Edal,

Thanks. Perhaps you'd be interested in doing a custom layout for the PAD which works much better on the Mustang with full sensitivity. Info on this in posts #47, 53 and 55 under this thread.

No regular meetings yet but usually not hard to find Club members from 1800UTC onwards for a few hours.

See you soon!

Hello wakespeak,

Thank you for your interest in our club. I'm not sure if we've played before, would you mind joining me for a little sim flight next time we see each other online - my PSN is MACADEMIC. I'm frequently on at evenings/nights in Europe.

See you soon!

MACADEMIC,

You sent me a friend request a while back after a game we played with some other folks. I will look for you online as well.

Sorry, yes I knew your PSN sounded familiar but I can't remember the game we played. So let's just catch up online soon.
