Take a short ferryboat ride from the Manila Hotel to Cavite City which is located on Sangley Point right next to the Naval base.

Excellent Bob...very nice... ;)

Quick questions:  could the Kingfisher do a wheel landing on a carrier and was it a larger aircraft than the Avenger?  I was also wondering about crew compliment between both aircraft.
I also remember reading a long long time ago about a Kingfisher Pilot receiving a very high decoration for taxing the Kingfisher in rough seas with crew and rescued persons aboard.  Dang I can not find a link to that but I am sure you might have some information on this.   :)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

The scenery is awesome, and the plane that goes with the picture the perfect choice. You captured some great screens!
Was the kingfisher a payware? Where can you get it?
