_Hoss Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 They had one in England and one in Italy, the one in England was in an accident and never flew or saw action, the one in Italy did fly, but saw no action. the P-80 did make it to the continent, the Meteor did not... Of course it's carer in England was not as bad.. LOL It's still a chase plane for some companies. I believe Boeing retired theirs about two or three years ago.

Actually, the Bell P-59 was operational first, although used more as a trainer, with 30 examples delivered to the 412 Fighter Group on 1944.

I was thinking the p-59 was experimental to get experience with jets. 1 hour ago, 352nd_Hoss said: They had one in England and one in Italy, the one in England was in an accident and never flew or saw action, the one in Italy did fly, but saw no action. the P-80 did make it to the continent, the Meteor did not...

iFoxRomeo Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 A YP-80A for WWII scenarios and/or a F-80C for Korean War era would be great... Yes please!

Two in England and two in Italy. https://www.thisdayinaviation.com/tag/lockheed-yp-80a-shooting-star/ And the Meteor was deployed to the continent. Starting on 20th January 1945, 4 Meteors (F.3) were deployed to Melsbroek. More were deployed later... I'd also like to see the Meteor F1/F3 in DCS.
