Live long and prosper...

As one of the many who mourn Concorde's passing, I decided to resurrect another old favourite for a heritage flight - the Avro Vulcan, designed in the 50s and taken out of service from the RAF in the 1990s. Here's one in FS2002, climbing out of RAF Brize Norton;


roaring into the sky:


climbing to FL470 over the Irish Sea;


returning for final approach into Brize Norton;


touchdown!

Jonathan,

MSN Plus - is that a kind of instant messenger thang?  8) Seriously though, not heard of it; my kids use MSN messenger but being something of an apprentice wrinkly, I tend to stick with the things I know about.  ;)

Yeh, the Vulcan is a beautiful plane. I couldn't find one that's not payware, so as I wanted to fly it on a whim, I downloaded a CFS2 Vulcan from the SimV downloads pages, and used that. Seems to work fine. I also found a FS98 Handley Page Victor, but it's a little ... angular.
