Yeah if I'd have saw shots of a Sea Fury I'd have been a VERY happy bunny (oh, and a Firefly too lol)

Oh, this is a BlitzPig dream come true. Our specialty is mud moving.
Hope they get the center hard point on there as well. A typical loadout from the period would be 3 1000lb bombs and 12 250lb. bombs. Plus 4 20mm for strafing goodness.

Its not a plane that I know anything about, but I too think the AD4 looks wicked.
BTW, what versions of the P51 would be in Korea? Would the tall tail 'lightweight' P51H be there? I think to a lot of P51 fans this would be what they were expecting from the P51D. It was modified weighing every part on the P51 and comparing it to every part on a RAF Spitfire to make it as lightweight as possible and bring its manouverability more in line with its British counterpart. (They really did take each plane apart and weight every single part(!) to find out why the P51 was so much heavier...) Should be awesome, and a better dogfighter than the P51D..

H models were not deployed to Korea.
The aircraft in Korea should be late block D models. I suspect (I readily admit I don't know for sure) that the H models were not robust enough for the ground attack role the F-51s were used for in Korea. The Air Force's main ground pounders in theatre should be the F-51, A-26 Invader, F-80, and straight wing F-84. As for the US Navy and Marines, the A4 Skyraider, Late model Corsairs, and the jet Panther did most of the work, as I recall. Not sure about the F7F.

Korean War carrier ops too?
Wouldn't it be great to have carrier ops modeled in a new sim based on the Korean War? But as I asked in another thread, where can we find more info on this sim? Anyone?

RRG has a website. Sorry, I forget the address, but search for it.
Once there look up "Project Galba".
