Pretty Italian Thoroughbred.


Recommended Posts

I found this little bird the other day. It's the Laverda F.8L Falco. A sport and touring aircraft from 1955. She has great performance, is very agile and fantastic views from the cockpit. In my mind she looks like a Mustang. She still looks at home among todays GA aircraft and has the performance to match. This one is freeware. falco_f8l_fs9.zip               falco_f8l_fsx.zip 

Details about the real aircraft here,  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequoia_Falco

British reg aircraft is overThe Channel Islands and the Italian one is over the Italian Alps and around Milan.

What a beauty, italian design reached great peaks in the 50's.

They certainly did, Rosario, as those stunning cars from Ferrari and powerboats from Riva clearly showed. Italian design in the 50s and 60s was simply stunning (mostly...the Fiat 600D was an exception!) In my opinion the best looking car ever built was created then, the Lambourghini Miura.  :D

Allan If you fancy a little dabble i have 2 for sale right now,

 

But you are right about Italian design, the Japanese realised this some years ago after ducati created the 916 now many motorcycles and cars that are built by the Japanese are designed in Italy or Italian trained Japanese
