Grumman XF5F-1 Skyrocket

Postby lemoncat » Mon May 10, 2004 8:54 am

The Grumman Skyrocket was developed just before WW2 and was the first twin engine Navy fighter.It had awesome performance for its day, it was fast (exceeded 450mph in a dive) and could outclimb a Corsair. :) :)

I used to have that plane in CFS2, It would look good if the nose was a bit longer and the canopy wasn't so agricultural!  ;)
