Determined not to buy the 310 yet as it will lead to me straying off task, I'll say to myself "I just take a peak at the texture maps and see how they are setup".🤔 And that is a prime example of one's passion for their hobby 🙂 So many wonderful ways that simmers contribute to the community and we are all better off for it.

June 7, 20224 yr Interesting discussion, this. Curious too, as my search for the U3A USAF paint scheme lead me here. When I was in the AF back in the early 60s we had a U3A or 2 assigned at the then Stewart AFB, Newburg, N.Y. Funny, but I still carry a dark blue tinted scar across the top of my ring finger where I had errantly dragged and cut it across the trailing edge of one of the U3A's ailerons when it was parked in a dark hangar. Anyway, it's funny but we never referred to it as EITHER "Blue Canoe" or "Songbird"! To us it was always a "U-bird". The T-33's were "T-birds" and the U3A's were "U-birds". Interesting, nonetheless, as I am a glutton for trivia! LOL Anyone else ever hear them called that?
June 7, 20224 yr By the way, wasn't Skyking's original bird a Cessna T-50? I think I had one of those back when I still flew in FSX... A fun flier!
