The first operational US fighter jet, the F-80 was pretty much an F-51 with a jet engine. Notice how this one has two smaller jets, whereas the real one had one big jet. I had to do that for the sake of realistic handling; after all, this is the realism series, not the good looks series! By the way, limit engine power to 60% for realistic thrust/weight ratio.
