Yes, the C172p. At least and the F-104, F-15 and F-16 are based on
windtunnel data. The T-37 is partially based on flight test data.

Interactive history is certainly far better than dry facts in books, but
we'd have to be careful how we "spread historical information".
FlightGear might well be a great means of keeping the historical flying
experience alive. The trouble is, AFAIK *no* airplane currently model
