B-17 Bomber flight from Heathrow to Brussels

[Gunny04]

These are from a flight I just finished, Unfortunatly on the landing I was a bit to fast and I out shot most of the runway.... I did manage to land with one heck of a fire! everyone lived to tell about it. This is the B-17G from wings of power. The Mesh is FS Genesis for Europe

[GunnerMan]

Yup in WW2 the B17s on raids would fill the sky with them, thats how germans knew they were comming

Pffft, go-around? Not me.  I'll take the hit.  ::) Good pics.  That was the worst final approach of my life too.  :P

[Gunny04]

I don't know, I'd rather go around and see a happy bird sitting on the ramp in on piece.. ;-)

Then take a 100Knot Final approach from about 3 to 9 miles? lol a bit extreme but you'll get down I imagine, That 17 from 25k in a straight dive and a half mile final, ugh NOT SAFE! lol cheers
