rob16584 42 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 A few shots from a practice bombing run in the Iris Vulcan Pro Departure Following some rivers and valleys to get used to the handling Love the wing shots Tower view as I fly by again to start the practice run Target in sight The target today is this small island, visible in the middle left window. Electrics have failed at this point, I forgot to press the alternator switch, for some reason the usual key command doesn't work and I had to map it to a joystick button Getting down low to sneak under the radar Time to pop up and release the package A job well done, let's head home Back through the valleys Tower is guiding me in Still trying to work out what happened here. A nice landing then all of a sudden she did a powerslide into this position. At least i'm still on the centre-line Link to post Share on other sites
phil white 274 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Great shots of a cold war aircraft. I was lucky enough to see a full size at an air display a couple of years ago. Link to post Share on other sites

jankees 917 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 very nice! It was always an impressive bird, butI must say I deleted mine, I got totally fed up with the start-up procedure... Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Great imagination Rob, that's what the screenshot forum is all about Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,284 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Nice pic's Rob Love the centerline shot at the end She sure does smoke alot Cool looking bird but not much of a view from the cockpit. Looks more like a spacecraft view. I like the big wings and the way the intakes are moulded in. I was gonna get this during the sale but went for the F14 instead. It was a hard choice.

rob16584 42 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I was given the F14 to review for Computer Pilot years ago, I enjoyed flying that too. Must try and find the installer again Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Nice shots there, was worried you'd dragged the HDU through the water at one point. The Tankers only had a short service life before they were scrapped, a somewhat ignominious end for such a great aircraft. Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Fine shots Rob! Link to post Share on other sites
Noddy 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Fine shots indeed, but as Jan says a really pain to start. Link to post Share on other sites
