Something else I found out about civilian Mustangs is that removing the military equipment (guns, armor, surplus fuel tanks and WWII vintage radio equipment) shaves off around 2,500 lbs from the Mustangs weight, which is roughly a quarter of the loaded weight of a wartime P51D. If the guys who made the Flight 1 P51 for FSX used one of these Mustangs for their flight characteristics, then no wonder it flies so well

For randomness, I still stand that my Yak-3 could chew up your lovely Griffon powered Spitfire any day.

We cant tho, not a Griffon engined Spit. It was obviously too good for the game, so they left it out!
