I just discovered it last night after a random pick from the page that lists all the pages (one after another, separated by commas) on which are found the add-ons. Just luck. I saw the Eagle as a purple add-on, then went to get the original. I have heard of this plane, but did not know we had one here. I downloaded a Pitts S-1 a while back, but it was not real in appearance-- it looked like blueberry swirl ice cream and had poor propeller visuals. This Eagle is my new favorite prop-driven, aerobatic hotrod.
Just a brief, unrelated aside: Steve Hinton's son, Steve, Jr., just 22 years old in late August, got to fly an Unlimited P-51 in the Reno air races this Sunday. He did not win, but did really well for his first time under the heat of competition. What must that be like? To be just 22, and fly a Mustang built for all-out racing? I can't even begin to imagine. I just hope he doesn't get killed doing it at some point in the future...
