Ok now heres and ineresting request. I was just now surfin the web about the modern air racing planes, and came across a combination jet and piston engined p-51 Mustang. I think itd be cool to have this plane in fs2004. Some one should build this amazing airplane. I found a few pics at wabird.com. (thats where I saw it first)if anyone can either build one like it or tell me where i can find a version of it id appreciate it.

Not sure I ever seen one myself - only the Piper manufactured turboprop examples...
Are you thinking of the "World Jet" Mustang - if so, this is just powered by a RR Griffon engine...

Yes, it was the World Jet Mustang. No it had the prop in the front.

I doesn't - the name "World Jet" has nothing to do with the powerplant, which is just a modified Rolls Royce Griffon V12 piston - I think the name "World Jet" came from the owners...

Either way it was an interesting aircraft at the Reno Air Race. From what I've gathered, it sounded way meaner than any of the other competitors.

Its strange though, even though they've got the bigger and more powerful RR Griffon engine, Griffon Mustang's have lacked success over the years...
