I am in love with this plane. I have been, but I just saw it released as freeware from AlphaSim. :)

*Question, Is it the excat same model VC, effects...ETC.? That's nice that's Alphasim is letting some of their known Payware for freeware, only a few models though. ;D

Little side note about this particular Viggie. Navy assigns BuNos to aircraft when they are ordered, not when delivered. BuNo 156625 was never delivered and therefore existed in the fleet. Possibly cancelled for any number of reasons prior to being built. Bunos on Viggies skipped from 156624 to 156626. '24 went on display at a Navy museum at Pensacola in 1978, also in '78 '26 was stricken meaning it was scapped in Key West. The last Viggie lost in combat was 156633 in Viet Nam while attached to "Heavy 13" or RVAH-13 "Bats" in 1972 after being shot down by a Mig.

All of AlphaSim's freeware aircraft have VCs, but the quality of them is greatly reduced. They also lack panels. But on some of their later freeware releases, their exterior models are great!
