I shall have to hop over to Oz sometime and have a play.
Meanwhile: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/1884/spitb.jpg A beautiful aircraft, just back from a quick circuit around the airfield, bit of a heavy landing, but she forgave me, rain started just as I'd taxi'd up and was shutting down. Brilliant timing. :yeah: |

Not so succesfull. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...1-51-25-61.jpg Me biting the dust first, never saw it coming till that last split second. Actually got hit again, at which point I bailed out. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...1-56-39-06.jpg Wingman getting "lucky". http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...1-59-19-46.jpg Wingman having a bad day, but good ejection. |
Ain't that a stinker, seeying the projectile that's about to hit you at the very last moment.

It is. One second you're just scanning the instruments and trying to locate a camp, next you suddenly see a white stick out the corner of your eye through the left window, getting awfully big awfully fast.
I hate MANPADS. Easily fooled, but impossible to spot and no warning at all unless you can spot the trail of smoke. :shifty: |
A quick flight from Biggin Hill to Duxford, leaving Biggin at about 16:45...it's getting dark, but just enough light to see where I'm going, pass over East London and the Thames and then head north. Fly over Stansted...right, must be getting near Duxford...now where the bloody hell is it? Dammit, where's my GPS...right...oh, you're over there. Where's the lights? No lights? Oh bloody hell...right...thank god for that motorway next to it...no...no..that's too fast, go around do it again...ah, that's better...whoa, watch your roofs cars, and down we are, a little left of center...and up we are again, oh...Spitfire bounce, of course... :damn: and Bump, down we go again...all in once piece, good, now let's find the taxiway and park up...now did I remember a torch? There's no bloody lights around here at all...
http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/6030/spit2.jpg Flying over East London, heading up to approximately 23000 ft http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/7411/spit3.jpg Coming in to land for the second time, and bricking it severely http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4250/spit4.jpg Down, done and dusted for tonight |
After my "serious" flying was done today, I thought of just having a bit of fun. So I dug up my recently-discovered freeware IRIS birds for FS9 (available here - http://www.irisfss.com/the-hangar.php - they also produce new payware versions for FSX) and flew this...

Love the Tomcat. :yep:
Think I spend more time in Fleet Command directing flights of F-14s about than tasking the fleet. :lol: Bit of free-flying in the Ka-50. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...8-44-29-23.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...8-54-05-88.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...8-58-54-26.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...9-00-34-83.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...8-58-00-11.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...8-57-57-61.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...9-17-06-71.jpg |
Eventful flight this one, but not for reasons based in FSX...
So, load up FSX and set the time and weather to current, spawn myself in my Spit at Duxford with everything off. So, here we go, Master switch on, IFF on, Nav Lights on, Reflective sight on, computer off...huh? Bloody power cut!! :damn: Five minutes later the power goes back on again, so we try again and this time make it all the way from Duxford to Norwich...bit of a messy landing, stalled her on approach but managed to wrestle her back to the level before the wheels hit the ground, so a heavy landing but nothing broke so that's something. Taxi'd around, got a little lost and had to do a U-turn, but made it to the parking spot, parked up, started shutting down...and the computer reset... :doh: http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/8810/spiiit.jpg Flying over Cambridgeshire on the way to Norfolk http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/2388/spittt2.jpg Coming in to Norwich airport |
