Honestly, I'm almost speechless.. This is the best looking FS aircraft I've ever seen - period. It just looks so real.

Wuhuu!!This looks too good to be freeware?Anyways, it would be a hell of a investment! :)Looking really forward to it!!Keep up the excellent work!------------Fredrik Wold >:-) (Vikings from north)

And it flies as good as it looks too..

wow!I think I might have to get her when shes ready :9

"euh, duh, uhuuhuhuh, da, blu......., blabla,........"I'm speechless and totally in love, sorry....! :9:-wave

In the FS world of design, there are players, spectators, and those who do not know real design is going on.I think I've been relegated to the latter. :-)Milton

I am moved with emotion, at a loss for words. Stunning, just stunning. It has got to be the pinnacle of flight simulation aircraft design and achievement. Congratulations!GrantM

He was a crew chief on B-25's during WWII. To the day he died, he felt the Mitchell was the most beautiful, well-built plane ever. He would be amazed at how well they have captured the essence of this aircraft. When it is released, I will definitely be purchasing and flying it, in his honor.

Darn!I have to replace my keyboard now; I drooled ALL over it! WHATEVER you want for 'B-T,' I'll pay! Simply stunning previews!One question: Is it possible to climb down from the flight deck, and 'crawl' into the nose using Active Camera?

I've already ordered, but I'm thinking about driving there to pick it up. It's truly a work of art. Thanks. Marc

That is one of the most beautiful designed models I have ever seen! If only there was a CFS3 version on the horizon!!Eddie:)

Amazing!!!

My Dad was a Norden bombsight and powerplant mechanic with the 2 Sqdn 22 Bomb Group, 5th AF in the Pacific. Sadly, he did not survive to see her, either. I think about him everytime I take a flight on the real 'BT', especially when I'm in the nose behind the Norden. I dedicated the R4D package to him. This one has a dedication taken from 'BT's Squadron Yearbook : IN HUMBLE TRIBUTE TO THE MEN AND SHIPS THAT WILL NEVER RETURN; AND TO THOSE MEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES TO KEEP THEM FLYING....I am sure your Grandfather and my Dad would approve the sentiment.BTW, like you, Dad was from Iowa - Spirit Lake.
