Ac1-2 for missils Ac-6 to drop wing tip tanks number and navy sign by S.R. The Banshee entered US Navy service in 1948 as their second carrier jet fighter. They served with distinction with the USN in Korea. The Banshee replaced the Royal Canadian Navy’s Hawker Sea Fury as the RCN’s first and only jet fighter. The RCN acquired 39 Banshees from 1955 to 1958. Banshees operated from shore bases and from the aircraft carrier HMCS Bonaventure after 1957. The Banshee was the RCN’s last fighter and was not replaced when retired in 1962. A total of 805 were made.RCN pilots deserve credit for being able to operate the Banshee successfully from the carrier HMCS Bonaventure. Its small size made jet-fighter operation difficult.

@Cedy117 is a reference from PhlyDaily. It's from his hatred of this in war thunder. I must have watched one of his streams right before.
So now that it's been five months what's the reference lol @Geebers
Throttle up and run away!
If anyone actually gets that reference, good job!

I attacked the bridge, flew under it, and completed a full loop beginning at 4,000 feet and ending at 4,000 feet. The amount of detail (side letters) is time-consuming, excellent, and appreciated!
Maby to many good ones out there I think I'll do a f9f Panther or some other 1950s-60s era fighter
Lol @Delphinus
Super Saber next??
