Hi,

I've just ended an amazing flight in a oldtimer bird. The Fairey Flycatcher. A fighter/bomber plane from the twenties with a 400 HP radial engine.

No fancy stuff like gps, ILS or autopilot ... Just lots and lots of flying fun! Add some nice surroundings and your up for pure enjoyment.

Found on www.fs2000.org ( it's getting boring, i know )


Zurich airport, a beautifull plane is waiting for me...


Airborn, hopefully the weather will clear up.


Gently turning this old one, she responds ever so vividely


Just look at the detail. Amazing, ain't it?


Time to go down, another nice little airport, close to the Alps


Approaching the runway, floating this bird...


On the runway, letting her roll, don't wanna flip her.


Engine cut, time to sip on cup of coffee - enjoying the rush of the flight


Well, i've got to admitt, flying the old fashion way can be very rewarding.

a-ma-z-i-n-g!

Sometimes you just have to hear the wind whistling through the wires.

This will allow you to download it. Other wise use the search engine on the site and look for fairey

side mounted cannons?

best shots iv'e seen for ages just love that plane

Great plane, great shots.

Another fine example of a rag and tube bi-plane

When IFR meant "I follow roads" not Instrument Flight Rules.

When most aviators could not afford a car but a mortorcycle YES.

AND there are still a few GREAT SOLES out there still trying to bring those days back !!!!

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I've been looking for one of those! I downloaded it right away! It is a nice plane and it flies superbly.

There's a floatplane version too, but i don't like the floats. Not the same amount of detail.

MOdel is by Frank Elton - Pegasus Aviation Design ...  another fellow that likes "real planes"  ...

Does this fellow who likes real planes want to make a Gloster Gamecock perchance?
