Don't fear, she's sleeping :)

Just some quick shots after another of those Norway exploration flights, ended in Vaernes if I remember correctly.
This plane is surely one of the most magnificient freware addons for FS9/FSX. It's currently the jet I fly the most.
Fear her mighty thirst, she drinks kerozene like a vodka shot !

Thanks for the link BoeingGuy
This is the plane, and I'm using a special photoreal repaint that I downloaded somewhere, I can't remember at the moment.

The plane is quite challenging to fly:

- the controls are sensitive, it's not easy to stay stable at high altitude

- the kerozene consumption is amazing, you'll have to jump over 30.000 feet immediately after takeoff if you want to cover a reasonnable distance, else you'll run out of fuel too fast.

- don't forget to add some elevator trim before takeoff, and unless you have a really long runway, don't even think about taking off without the afterburner.

- you'll have to follow precisely the instructions in the readme to start the beast. It will NOT start with CTRL+E, and the engine will STOP if you try switching to this plane while you are airborne

- landing is challenging as well... somehow I keep wondering if I'll have enough fuel for the approach or not... go-around may become VERY dramatic 

Thanks for the kind comments, gentlemen

You can find this (and 3 others) repaints at FlightSim.com.
