Yup.

In Secret Weapons Over Normandy, that's my favorite thing to fly, that and England's Gloster Meteor.

There was one that was from England... Crap, I can't remember the name, but it was made of wood as opposed to metal, and did very well.

What I don't get is why the Corsair never saw much action, or at least never got any spotlight attention. In the really old flight sim Corncob 3D, where it's an alternate WW2 era where instead of the Axis, aliens invade the world, you fly a Corsair. ( Later on, a Dumpy, if you crash enough Corsairs and need to pull out the reserves. )

Corsair, that sounds familiar ... ^^;; Though I can't fully place it. Still, I'm pretty sure I once had a model of it a long time ago. ^^

Even the new Raptor fighter is no match for...

The Newman NM-127 Harbinger ( Subject to change, I never got into details on these things. confused )

It's a sci-fi space cruiser from an MMO idea I had. It's hull is indestructible, because it's made by the Newmans' ultra-durable material that nothing can destroy. So the worst that can happen is it gets temporarily disabled until its emergency repair system ( 100% failsafe ) brings it back online and starts restoring shield strength and all that.

It's capable of interplanetary travel, can warp by causing a rift in space, allowing instant travel across any distance outside a planet's atmosphere, and survive flying straight into the hottest star, with the crew aboard totally unaffected by the temperatute.

Weapon wise, it has 2 main forward phazer ( Not to be confused with " phaser " it's a totally different concept. ) cannons, with rotating cannons on its dorsal, ventral, port, starboard, and aft sides so it has no blind spots. Also, it can perfom bombing runs via a replicator bombing system, making a physical payload ancient technology. The main 2 forms of bombs used ( though it can use any type, only 2 are commonly used since they're all that's really needed ) are the standard Newman Phazer Bomb, which is effectively what a nuclear missle is now, only instead of radiation, it's just pure explosion that vaporises everything in its radius, except anything of Newman make, since their own material is of course, totally shielded from their own energy. The other is the Implosion Bomb, which causes a rift in space and forms a black hole, crushing everything in a given area into a small area of space. The power can be adjust so as to destroy pinpoint targets, such as a single building without anything surrounding it being affected at all.

Defense wise, it has the natural armor strength of the material it's made of, meaning nothing can destroy it. The Death Star itself couldn't even scratch the paint job. It has a shield system to add to defense, just in case something is strong enough to screw up the systems. Anyone inside the ship is perfectly safe from all outside threats however, regardless what happens to the ship itself.

I could give tons of details on all things Newman from my game idea that this all comes from, but I don't feel like typing an entire novel.

If Cow A moos at noon, and Bunny B hops around 15 minutes later, what impact does this have on Horse C nuzzling the animals?

It's weird living on this farm...

Well, I didn't succeed in making a Klein Bottle in SL, since the basic shapes don't have enough options and I lack the knows-it to create a sculpted prim of my own to make it that way.

However, I did make a RL Mobius Strip, so that's cool.
