Actually, I remember when I was more into airsoft, a friend/large name in the NJ airsoft community was planning on getting a pilot's license so they could do supply drops, recon, and things like that, but the cost was prohibitive. They do do that stuff in large games, like Eastern Wind, and some of the large European games. I know in Eastern Wind the Soviet side rides in authentic soviet-era APCs, and the American side rides around in American vehicles. It's quite cool really.

Thanks for the heads up.

Their P-51 is a "C" model. North American built 1,750 aircraft in the Dallas, TX facility and designated them as P-51Cs. Starting with the P-51C-5 production block, North American switched to the more powerful Merlin V-1650-7 engine.This TP-51C “Betty Jane” is the only one of its type in existence today that features a full set of dual controls.
