You mean 503 or the UH-1Y? With the budget the way it is, I think the UH-1Y will be a long time coming!  The one downside to the Y is that it doesn't have that great Huey "wop, wop, wop" sound that sounds like it's beating the air into submission! Deacon

Deacon 503  Which is probably why that aircraft was used for the skin. It's the only one that could/would sit still long enough to get good images of it. Yeah, that wop, wop, wop sound is missed around MCAS CPEN which is where that aircraft/squadron is stationed.

While I was in the Army we could sit there and tell what helicopter was inbound by the sound of it's engine/rotor blades.
Kiowa, Cobra, Apache, Chinook, Huey and Black Hawk all have a distinct sound.

I know what you mean. They all sounded different. I remember the Huey's used to set off all the car alarms in the parking lot!

I take it things didn't end too well? For the Cessna that is.
Seems to always happen a lot at St Maarten. (I assume that's St Maartin)

Such a shame that wake turbulence is not modelled in MSFS. I remember Flight Unlimited did that.
Undercarriage lever a bit sticky was it, Sir?

It's off of a French website. I really slammed an Etendard on deck but I didn't go through it like the usual carriers let you do. You can find it here: http://royalefrenchnavy.perso.sfr.fr/RFN-1-CDG-FR.htm

That B-17 shot is awesome! I take it things didn't end too well? For the Cessna that is.
Seems to always happen a lot at St Maarten. (I assume that's St Maartin) Not for me, no. I managed to roll the bird to the right and careened through the trees into the water for a ditch. Bummer...

Nice screen, Stormtrooper! Is that Carenado's Grand Caravan/Super Cargomaster? I've had my eye on that for X-Plane, but I'll probably wait until they update it for full 64-bit compatibility.

Cool, thanks! It's definitely on my short-list. I have grand visions of making supply runs down the Andes or across the Sahara in this plane.

How about some french bush... ...flying?  Freeware Noratlas from simviation. Cockpit and flight manual are in french though, and every time I go to load the plane engines sputter out and die. Soooo this is about as far as I got.... It's very easy :  Page 16 of the handbook   Bons vols sur le Nord !
