jury1942 424 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) The last American piston-engine fighter ordered into production by the USAF. A nacelle beneath the center-wing that housed radar equipment. Historic shots only. FSX, no DX10, very Bad VC . Edited January 17, 2018 by jury1942 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 An interesting aircraft for sure. Inspired by the ME 109Z. Nicely caught. Link to post Share on other sites

The project was permanently abandoned in 1944. The North American F-82 Twin Mustang was built - 272, operational life 1946 - 1953. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I always wondered what would happen if the pilots had a massive disagreement about which way to go and tried to go in opposite directions! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Great crystal clear shots of this oddball Mustang. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 It was a brilliant solution to the gassy copilot problem. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I think it would have looked better if they'd left a stub of horizontal stabilizer outboard of the fuselages, but I guess not everything can be a P-38. John 2 Link to post Share on other sites
