My prediction comes through the same day! This is a first for me! I swear I had no inside information about a Komet, but did you see Pretorian's post on the Figarti section of the forum: "Don't worry guys, Die Komet ist coming!"
What an incredible beast those things were; certainly a favorite with downed airmen and troops on the ground. They gave new meaning to ground support and fire suppression. One of the better know movie appearances of the Skyraider, in its own identity, was in the 1990 movie Flight of the Intruder in their popular "Sandy" air rescue escort role. Where and when did you fly these?I would love see K&C make a AD6 USN, A1 USAF ( Skyraider) I know this will not come to pass. Not a WWII bird but an overlooked workhorse. This single engine aircraft could carry a greater bomb load than a B-17 and was a flying tank. It was used during the Korean War and all the way through Vietnam. I really loved flying this aircraft.
If you’ve watched the movie “The Longest Day” the very brief shot of the aircraft coming in over the Normandy beach were Skyraiders not P-47’s.

I spoke with Andy about the Komet yesterday and it will be a regular release sold through dealers
However, it does seem to fit the picture.
Oh man oh man oh man!!! I am so glad I pre-ordered one of those Mossies!
The Mosquito really is one of my all time favorite aircraft, right up there with the F86 Sabre, the P51D Mustang and the the Spitfire as both beautiful and successful Warbirds!
