Check his channel, there's a lot more there.

Just stumbled across this on the tubes:

RAF in the 1960s - Always on the Alert
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F--Gy...eature=related

Some nice Lightning shots there.

The narrator gets a bit annoying after a while, but some nice Hog shots.

Good one!

Found this. Elegant lines all over this model. This is eros with wings.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuG994e03lk

Since I saw it I wonder whether it will replace the SIAI Marchetti in my hangar.

RealAir. Nuff said.

P.S. Later Edit: I'm in a buy-tiny-little-toy-airplanes-mood currently. After this review, the Legacy really has my eyes fixiated on it.

http://forum.avsim.net/page/index.ht...ir-legacy-r402

Looks like the new benchmark for small GA airplanes.

These 2 enemy pilots clashed during the war, both survived the war. Then they met each other in 1990, great video for a great story!

Thumbs up

Not a sim, but a good documentary on original Harriers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxzpKtbNKQ0

The Germans had what was basically a 104 with six engines, the French a Mirage III with eight engines, there was the Brits with just one.

Dreaming to fly (LINK)

Nice idea.

The plane to be seen is another fine Lancair, the IV-P done by OrbX (LINK). Very strong contender to the RealAir Lancair Legacy.

Yes. OrbX. The only plane they have done so far, they are more oriented towards scenery.

Beautifully looking plane with well-swung lines, too. Only the terrible stork legs hinder me to give the looks a ten.

Been looking for this vid for a while, worth a watch for fighter jet jocks:

Chuck Yeager breaks the sound barrier again:

Up until this video, and a quick google, I honestly didn't know Chuck was still alive, God bless him, one of the 'Yoxford boys' and a local legend.
