The Republic XP-72


GBJim

Recommended Posts

I just can't get enough of flying this aircraft. The Republic XP-72 was an American prototype interceptor fighter developed as a progression of the P-47 Thunderbolt design. The XP-72 was designed around the Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major 28-cylinder air-cooled radial engine with a supercharger mounted behind the pilot and driven by an extension shaft from the engine.

 

The download was crafted by Mr. Milton Shupe, and given to me as a gift by my hero, Herr Von Peerhoven . ( But I am still not sending him any money. )

Yes, no need to be paying him for anything! Remember the truckload of beer that just so happened to have rolled over?

 

That is a nice bird, Jim, Skipper's Darlin! Doesn't show any signs of water damage? Maybe you got it before he had a chance to take it for a dunk? :rolleyes:

 

Rick :cool:

Great shot of the '72, Jim! Another of Milton's aircraft along the same line is the XP-47J Escort aircraft.

Thanks Charlie. That Milton Shupe is the best. My young noble hero also sent me that one. I will need to get it out of the hanger and give it a try. :)

You can fix that though. I don't do this personally since I also act as ATC while looking at my second screen with LittleNavMap open, but check this out.

It's manual.zip and tells you how to use AI Separation and AI Smooth together.

 

What I mean by acting as ATC is that if I see AI inbound to my same runway I either speed or or slow down withen limits to help with separation. For the most part I'm successful.

WHOA!! stunning pics Jim! :cool::cool::cool: Oh, and it's a gift from Mr. Shupe, like all the other virtual birds he made. I only posted the download links.:) And WHY don't you send me any money? :mad:

 

He told me that you loved him like a son? He would probably like to have you send HIM some money! All he really wanted was just a little beer and look where that got him!
