Well, you had it first, but you went with the wrong one there.

Whichever one of you reads this first, post one up.

Guess both..

Clearly Russian; it looks like a true amphibian rather than an ecranoplan, probably an Illyushin something-or-other. Beyond that I can't get without resorting to Google.
 
My first thought was Defiant, but Defiant looks more like a Hurricane and has only one engine.. but I swear, I've seen or read about this one before.
 
older American planes are bit tricky to fly in CFS3. For example the P40 "Flying Tiger" from AvHistory.. I can't but wonder how they managed to shoot anything down with that thing. it's slow, heavy feeling and stalls easily..
 
Really? I'd always heard that the P-40 was very nimble and agile, especially at lower altitudes. It might just be Microsoft's physics engine, though.

Ready for the next one!
 
Quite a specific one... basically a Mustang but technically not, rather an A-36A Apache, the dive bomber version of the P-51A distinguished by the dive brakes on the wings.
