P-82/F-82 Twin Mustang
The North American F-82 Twin Mustang was the last American piston-engine fighter ordered into production by the United States Air Force. Based on the P-51 Mustang, the F-82 was originally designed as a long-range escort fighter in World War II; however, the war ended well before the first production units were operational.
During the Korean War, Japan-based F-82s were among the first USAF aircraft to operate over Korea. The first three North Korean aircraft destroyed by U.S. forces were shot down by F-82s
Highly revised flight physics along with some aircraft component modifications.
This alternate view aircraft flies similarly to the Top Flight P-82 Twin Mustang as shown in YouTube video
Flies quite well. Requires some extra throttle when landing.
