Ah, the Mighty Jug. My favourite US Warbird. I don't know what it is about the "Jug" but if you ever saw Paul Bonholm display this plane at Duxford, you'd know what I mean.

A nice juicy target! I'll come round again and beat it up a bit.

Well, I hit something, but I was aiming at that shead! Better have another go.

That's more like it!

I though this Sub Base would make a good target but my rockets just exploded and did no visible damage

On the way out, I saw these trucks, but after shooting off a few rounds, my ammo ran out. Shame.

Following the river. I tried to blow the rail bridge, but missed and then thought about doing a "Ozzy" and flying under it, but it looks a bit too low. Maybe another time.

Someone is not too happy about me being here!

My Thunderbolt is full of holes!! But at least it's still flying. Wounderful machine

P-47D Tunderbolt "No Guts, No Glory" Lt. Ben Mayo, 82nd Fighter Wing, 78th Fighter Group, Duxford UK, 1944.

Amazing shots and plane, well done .

nice shots! in CFS3 i don't use it very much...i prefer the spitfire: faster and turns easier!  ;)

Nice shots Roger, I never had you down as a Jug-head

So you couldn't blow a hole in the sub pen with your little 5" rockets? I'm not bloody suprised. Those things have walls twenty feet thick made of reinforced ferro cement! To knock a hole in one you want to use one of these....




Oh yeah, nice pics.

Nice flying Tempest!

Cheers Paul  

Beautiful shots, and beautiful plane!  She can take quite a ponding can't she.

P.S.  The Spit is good for a rookie, but the Jug is for aces!

nice pics, looks like u were havin fun

Nice shots Roger.

Haven't tried the combat sims yet....thats comming though.

Have fun........Cheers.....Doug

that's what i hate about this plane...you need half your ammo just to shoot it down...if i just could have a 109K in CFS 3. nothing resists a 30mm cannon,not even an IL-2...

I couldn't quite get one of those to fit on my Jug Woody old pal

Once again, thanks for your comments chaps

Eight point rolls in a jug are something to be seen...
