F104G Starfighter 6.4/6.51

File Description:
F104 G Starfighter v1.0 for X-Plane 6.4/6.51 Developed under weapons program 303 in the early 1950's by Lockheed's famous skunkworks the F104 was referred to as "the missile with the man in it" due to its rocket like shape. It was the first jet aircraft to exceed 1000 mph in level flight and also the first jet to exceed mach 2. Over 2500 F104s were produced for the US and for export. The F104G had a J65 10,000 lb. thrust engine without afterburning and 15,800 lb with afterburning. Some remained in active service in Tiawan into the late 1990's. Rocket assisted NF104 aircraft set an altitude record for ground takeoff aircraft of 120,800 over Rogers dry lake in December 1963. Look for more century series aircraft coming soon for X-Plane.

F4U Corsair

File Description:
F4U Corsair for x-plane 6.4 to 6.6 - With its huge propeller (13'-4" diameter) and 2000 + HP engine it requires a lot of skill to just get this bird into the air. The torque on the plane is so high that a fair amount of left stick is required to keep the plane from rolling on takeoff. To handle all of this horsepower and keep the landing gear as short as possible the solution was to "crank" the wing giving the corsair its unique appearance. Visibility during takeoff and landings is terrible due to the long nose. Carrier landings have to be made by turning into the landing alignment. The plane is decorated in the skin of 86 where "Pappy" Boyington of the Black Sheep squadron was photographed before his last mission. In the Pacific pilots did not fly any specific plane as they did in the European theater but flew whatever was ready to go. If you look very closely you older simmers may recognize Robert Conrad who played Pappy Boyington in the TV series about the Black Sheep.
