CAF's B-29 "FiFi" has been in my area doing rides so after a few fly-overs I got the itch to dust off my WoP B-29. I bought the Wings of Power pack for CFS3 ~5yrs ago but it is taking me a while to get a handle of the big 4 engined bombers. Anyways, did some flights out of KAZO in Kalamazoo, MI where FiFi is giving rides.
Readying for take off.


lined up and ready


Top view to show the size, she is a beast of an airplane!


Shortly after takeoff, turning West to head towards Lake Michigan


More to follow, eventually I will post pictures of the other bombers in the pack. B-17F & G, Lancaster (and a Lancaster with the Grand Slam bomb), B-24s, and Privateer.

FSX also has windowed mode...

..and one of the ways of showing which Sim is running, when the poster doesn't say which Sim it is, in their posted Screen shots!

When I see a screen shot, I am always curious which Flight Sim is being used!

I always state mine, in the shots!... ...!

I have to tell you folks, the B-29 on final approach has a nasty surprise if you are not paying attention 110%. Below 100kts it is very easy to provoke an unstoppable yaw anomaly until you end up pancaking it in.

Now I don't feel so bad.  I thought it was my (lack of) piloting skills that has me splatting occasionally on short final.

Now I can blame the SuperFort!

Nice shots by the way.

..of course, we all do these low-speed, perfect landings... ...!

..but what we don't encounter, in a real-life situation, is the sudden, unanticipated down-draught, and loss of lift, at the critical moment of landing! ...!

Now, that's scary!... ....!

Nice set Adam...
