FrankPilot 110 Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Come visit the Portuguese Azores in the mid-north Atlantic and see how these beautiful islands, although officially neutral in WW2, greatly helped the Allies. Visit the two main WW2 airfields including one kept secret during construction to protect Portugal's "neutrality". See some scenic sights as we fly between the two airfields. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

brett 2,285 Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Thanks for the look at the Azores Frank, think I'll take a flight around there tomorrow and check it out. Did Germany ever figure out that there was a secret airport there before we gave up the ruse? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CAT3508 337 Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Sorry to say, that this wasn't well received on PPRuNE, the forum members there are not very receptive to anything regarding flight simulation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure the Germans would have known/suspected, mainly because they began losing the U-boat advantage big-time, but probably could not do much about it because they were on the ropes by then.

Thanks Neil. Saw that and have given a polite response, waiting moderator’s approval or something. It is a strange Forum in many ways. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites

If they don't like anything flight sim related than why watch the videos or even talk about them. Sounds like they have the problem and at the least deserve this... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
FrankPilot 110 Posted June 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 PPRuNe actually removed my post as clickbait simulation! I asked for my account to be deleted, which is a pity because I fly IRL and was enjoying contributing to their other topics. I was rather insulted because history and geography are big parts of how I use the sim and I just want to share what I learn through videos and each 10 minute video takes hours and hours of work. Anyway, life is too short at my age too make an issue out of it! Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,285 Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 A shame, many pilots use the flight sim to practice but it seems there might be some real pilot snobbery going on at that site. Personally, I would think any pilot would enjoy seeing new places and even enjoy some history. Be yourself and keep on keeping on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
