XP-72

~Hold pitch up on takeoff.~ The XP-72 is an experimental aircraft that essentially is a P-47 with some P-51 influence and with one version, a contra rotating prop. Flies very well, with plenty of speed due to 4000 total horsepower. Enjoy! Thanks to @Spikerya @Delphinus @NRKevilmonkey for helping me out with the prop, and credit to @Authros for the USAF roundels.
