Every fighter pilot needs a good trainer...

Congrats Mark! Love that shot :icon_thumbup: Well done.

A lot of good entries here.... Here are mine

Congrats Mike! I am not sure if your C-47 will survive that stunt, but it's definitely a creative interpretation of the topic :001_th_smiles89: Well done!....

Thanks Jan - excellent paint work. As for many FSX port-overs, there are some issues with the transparent parts. I am looking after a way to get the windows more reflective.

I am currently working on a Norwegian livery for the excellent freeware DC-3/C-47 model by Manfred Jahn. The real RNoAF C-47 with the letters BW L is located in the military aircraft collection at ENGM/Gardermoen.

My first contribution this month will be the Cessna O-1/L-19 «Bird dog» This little aircraft is known for it's low and slow performance. I've seen it in action - using full flaps while flying at about 50 ft AGL. It was quite impressive. My #2 shot - the Surfing Cub ...and my last

Thanks! I was noticed by a friend of mine, that the little text next to Donald should read «Food huntin'» and not «Good huntin'». The Donald Duck picture was a fragment of a catroon named " Food Huntin'" and thats what Donald says on the tail. I have made a replacement texture for the tail, and this update will be uploaded to the AVSIM library ASAP.

Congrats Simon! Well done... :icon_thumbup:

Thanks a lot all. Soon to be finished and uploaded to the AVSIM Library.

Soon to be finished. «The Hunting Club» was originally a B-17F. But, as long as there are no F models available for FSX, I decided to apply the textures to the A2A B-17G model.

Agree! Most of the 208's I've seen don't have the cargo pod. Anyway - great shots Jan. One of your liveries?.....

Thanks Joe! My two previous B-17G liveries («Sally B» and «Stingy»)are available from the AVSIM Library. «The Hunting Club» will need some adjustments before she can be uploaded :biggrin:

While painting the Accu-Sim B-17G, I came over this one. I couldn't resist painting this «tail art». Well, the original aircraft was a B-17F. But, I think the «tail art» fits the G-version as well :blush:

Thanks all! Found this old photo....

Well, I will absolutely recommend the Accu-sim B17G model. It's of the same quality as their Spitfire (not easy to operate - you will definitely have to read the manual) Thanks for nice comments both of you.....

«Sally B» and «Stingy» are now available from the AVSIM Library :biggrin:

Thanks all, and special thanks for the FSR info simi_av8r :biggrin: I will try that for sure... The Lancasters were widely used during raids over Norway. Several missions were flown over Bergen. The target was the German submarine bunker at Laksevåg (code name «Bruno») The RAF never succeeded in destroying the bunker, and suffered heavy losses. In the mountain side, just a few hundred meters from my home, debris from a Lancaster is still to be found. The 207 Squadron RAF LM271 EM-L exploded short after being hit by ground fire, and parts of the aircraft were spread over the mountain side.

Thanks a lot :biggrin: I am using the freeware FS Recorder: Download site You can record multiple flights - save them and use them as «traffic» for your next flight

November 12 1944 - 29 Lancasters of Nos 9 and 617 Squadrons were attacking the German Battleship «Tirpitz» in the fjords close to Tromsoe. Each Lancaster carried a 12,000lb 'Tallboy' bomb. Several attempts to sink the battleship had been done and this time it was a success Shots from nearby Tromsø. In that area it would have been quite dark all day at November the 12th.

Well, I think the Avro Lancaster is a good candidate :icon_thumbup:

So, I got my competition prize - the JF Constellation Professional. Very nice model - I will definitely purchase the expansion packs :lol: As I promised - here are some shots

Without doubt - the last one. Beautiful and controlled weathering. :001_th_smiles89:

I'll do...... :biggrin: Once again - thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot Jan. Excellent paint work
