– FS2004/FSX Brewster Buffalo F2A3

FS2004/FSX Brewster Buffalo F2A3 shipboard fighter. In 1939, the F2A became the first monoplane fighter aircraft used by the US Navy. Later versions had a more powerful Wright R-1820-40 Cyclone engine of 1200 hp (895 kw), a better propeller, and integral flotation gear, but still lacked pilot armor and self-sealing fuel tanks. Both the F2A-2 and the F2A-3 variants of the Brewster were liked by early Navy and Marine pilots, including Pappy Boyington, who praised the good turning and maneuvering abilities of the aircraft. Original model by “Thicko”. Three versions included. Upgraded for FS2004/FSX by A.F. Scrub.
