Update: changed the propeller blade count from the original 4 that came when i downloaded it for the first time to 3,(in order to acurrately spice the flavor in this texan b-17)
(Now with detailed cockpit and ‘only 2’ autoaiming tail guns thanks to the invention of funky trees)

@Shaunee129 @NormalPeople404 i heard the news, THE B-17 COLLIDED WITH A P-39 (or p-63) IN MID-AIR DURING AN AIRSHOW IN DALLAS.
RIP Texas Raiders, 1945-2022
Rest in peace... Texas Raiders and its flight crew..
