The elongated uprated F9F would be pretty nice, but I gotta ask, WTF is the deal on the shot with the damaged tail pipe? Is that hurricane damage at a museum? I see a WW2 era sub in the background, so Im wondering where this is. Mobile? Inquiring mind (mine) wants to know.

Oh and I hope somebody does consider your idea of an uprated Panther. Im not a modder, but it looks like it would not require too much modification of the current one, if the thrust increase is actually enough to make a bit of a difference. We've got 400 variations of 109s and Spits (some with just a couple of rivets placed differently ), so I kinda think this could fit in.
