(etc.) We'd be interested in aero data on any and all of the planes you list, especially flight-test data (lift and drag coefficients, etc.). I've been considering making a trip to the Canadian National Aviation Museum (if you can call a 15-minute drive across town a trip) to see if they have any data hidden in their archives -- there are a lot of old propliners and bush planes both inside and outside the museum. We're also very interested in contributions from C++ coders -- there are areas in FlightGear that still need an awful lot of work, and perhaps more importantly, there are thousands of lines of existing code that need to be reorganized to simplify the architecture and make it more consistent. If you're interested in 3D work or GIS, you might want to look at our scenery-generation software TerraGear, which has been sadly neglected of late.
