Nice little(?!) aeroplane by Rick Piper, released at the weekend for FS2002/2004...

Nice shots, nice aircraft...


But you might wanna get 'ol number two started in your first shot... ;)

Pilot on first image must have been Bob Hoover ?

My Goodness. This brings back some memories. The old Flying Pig. ;)

We used to see them flying all the time around here operating out of RAF Thorney Island. Not in those markings though. Good to see some of these rarer types for FS at last. They've been neglected for far too long.

Oops, silly me, one gets forgetful occasionally ;)

There's a nice pair of Vicker's Viking and Valetta too... lurverly :) :) :)

Just seen a 32 (Royal) Squadron BAe 146 fly over my house in Southampton too, how nice (wonder who it was?)

Flyboy. If you look closely you will see the prop is feathered.

I have no idea. It should be on the local news.  Probably one of the hangers-on. Oops - hush my big mouth. ::) ;D

Lovely shots and plane, well done! That'll save on fuel anyway ;)

Thank you. Quite right about the fuel saving, as a recently "retired" student one has learnt to be careful with the pennies...

It's so nice to see another British Classic done for FS. Super shots, nice aircraft.
