There is another Lancastrian, the Plane Design one for FS9, which I think is a more accurate shape: The first picture is of ill-fated Star Dust ( G-AGWH ) herself, and is one of the paint schemes that comes with the package. It works well enough in FSX with replacement prop-disc textures, but so far I haven't got it to work in P3Dv2.2

Took a bear to launch my first shot

That is a beautiful bird. Great shots, Alan.

My goal in AH is to stay reasonably small, have a few AI pilots to pay for the bills and fly myself as often as possible. I think my two active companies have reached their desired size, and rather than making them bigger I would rather open a new one in another nice part of the world ( I'm thinking about the southern tip of Argentina from Punta Arenas or the Chile Pacific coast , or alternatively Norway/Sweden in Europe which could be fun operating in winter ) The weekend rest for the pilots is also because I have a general "no fly on week ends" agreement with my own lady boss.

A very lucky escape. The instructor did not appear to do any routine engine failure checks. So far as I can see he did not switch tanks, did not apply carb heat, did not ensure that belts were tight, and did not open the door just before touchdown. On the other hand he was low altitude and made the decision, in my view correctly, not to bother with checks, but to make a Mayday call and look immediately for a safe landing site. It's easy to be critical but this chap got three very big things right. Number 1 - he kept the aircraft flying. Number 2 - he didn't kill or injure anyone on

our Federal Government

Like the Tricorn Centre in Portsmouth thankfully demolished.

if you look up close in google map; you will notice there is a huge power line crossing right where he banks for leg 1 the line winds and twist in the same direction they were going i agree with you John; they walked away unharmed who cares about procedure's and fancy term they get to see their families; and that's all that matters

Interesting all this, and exellent shots Alan, where you got that beauty from?

Here is my second entry. A Harrier Pete
