Eyy it's the P-39's birthday!
Or... yesterday was...
Ok so I was really busy over the weekend so I didn't have time to post it on the special day (April 6). But regardless of being a tad late, here's a commemorative P-39 in honor of the Airacobra's 87th birthday!
Note the tail number, comprised of the P-39's year of first flight and age as of 2025.
Wikipedia because I ain't typin' allat I've got other things to say lol
So,
What exactly does this P-39 have?
To be frank, not too much you wouldn't find on a normal P-39. Although, activation group 1 does slow the plane down, since trying to perform a safe landing at speeds above 180 mph is genuinely torture.
Also a big feature, this Airacobra comes with a functional VR cockpit, similar to my F-86F Sabre.
Another thing I should mention is the powerhouse of a 37mm cannon. Special thanks to Seemeing's J2M for the proximity fuse.
Other than that, everything else should be normal.
Have fun and happy birthday to the P-39!

Now is also probably a good time to mention that Birthday = First Flight
HAPPY BDAY AIRCOBRA! sorry I’m late, I didn’t get any notifications 😭
I love the Airacobra family of planes (P-400, P-39, P-63) so much, this is awesome
Most underrated WW2 plane.
