Curtis Jenny

Here's a plane that I'd love to see somebody do, a Curtis JN4 "Jenny" biplane. This has got to be one of the most famous aircraft ever and I'm surprised no one has ever done one for MSFS.  I had a chance to fly in a real one many years ago and I can still remember the sputtering of the engine, the wind whisting through the wing wires and how it took its sweet time getting where it was going. I'd like to see it done in military trainer livery as well as a 1920's, 1930's barnstorming plane.

There is one for FS2002, but I forgot where I downloaded it. I'll see if I can find it again

there are several, try the Golden Eagles Squad site (like andrew suggested) if you don't like that there are a few others at flightsim.com, there is one that comes with fsds, and i believe (if my memory serves me ::)) that there will be one in FS-ACOF (FS2004)

Thanks for the help guys, I downloaded both a military and civil version of the Jenny at Flightsim.com. Might have a freind with a faster Internet connection get me the one off Golden Eagles as it's a big download.  Real slow moving bird and not too nimble in the turning department, you almost have to sideslip her down onto the runway. I can see now the reason for all the pictures I've seen in books of these things parked in trees, the sides of buildings, atop cars, etc....
