I do know the aircraft as I downloaded it the other day (been after one for a while), so I'll keep my trap shut.
Lovely shots though Eno, I find landing her in a crosswing a bit of dog, what about you?

Nope OMAG .........

Yes... Ozzy she's a PITA to land in crosswinds ...... I ended up  off the runway when I took the rudder off to straighten up. I was probably not quite low enough.

Someone had to. :P :D Texan indeed. ::)

Nice shots Eno. May I enquire as to where you were operating from? Not sure the Navy would be welcome at RAF Hawkinge unless in an emergency. ;)

Ayup Hagar ........ that was Manston I was landing at  and if you think I would be unwelcome then you should have seen the Air France 747 sat in the parking area  :o :o :o
