Spitfire by the Bay!

[HawkerTempest5]

I've not been on the forum for a couple of days and missed the original challenge so to make up for it a bit I've added a few extra stunts

Seafire! Take off from the carrier.

Once around the Golden Gate.

A first look at the challenge.

Warm up act. Flying a near by bridge.

Extra points for air speed? 305knts.

Flying the challenge.

More points for air speed? 308knts.

Victory loop.

And now for my usual "too fast" landing!

Home in time for tea.

I did all of this in one flight. No crashes or "bumps" but it got a bit "out of shape" a few times and I did need two goes at the main bridge.

what can i say...the idea isn't very original...but it's a very good attempt coming from you!  ;)

Go get 'em Roger.......I see you picked up the gauntlet too  8)

Nice shots Roger, glad to see you are still with us. That bridge challenge was a bit v.easy. I've got to find something more eeeek!!!!

Mark

Ps. Love the kite, good choice

Keeping Dunlop in business with the landing there...

Charlie

(ps, would you agree that's just about the best Spit out there? Oh, what i'd give for a nice LF Mk Vc (sod all actually - I is broke)...)

[ozzy72]

Charlie there is a V here in the classic section of downloads (I can't remember the wing config though), also try looking in the CFS2 section as they are compatible with FS2k2!!!

That bridge challenge was a bit v.easy.

I've got another one I'm working on, I just want to be able to do it before I post it.  It doesn't involve a bridge either...

BTW, Hawker, Why didn't you land back on the carrier?  Too easy for you?

Charlie pal, that's one of my better landings! I almost glided in and still came down too fast. Do it every time I love this Spit. In fact I just love all these clipped wing models, LF IX LF XVI & LF V. VB Planes do a clipped MkV but it's not the best model I've seen and is looking a bit old now. There is a repaint available for it also and that makes it look much better (propper wing leading edge colours etc.) The plane is at Sim Outhouse but I can't remember where I got the repaint.

Kev pal, if you've seen my normal landing you will see why I decided not to try the carrier
