love the dc-3 pics, especially the angles, excellent. It has given me some ideas for when Igo to the next show.

Well, this beholder sure aint a one eyed one [much]:shock:

BNy the way, the B24 flak hit I believe is in fact a bomb strike from above. I had this clip on video, and going through it frame by frame you can quite clearly see something fall from above, not a flak type hit from below.

The aviation cargo plane airshow crash I think is that whichhappened at Farnborough air show some years ago, with the crew being able to walk away. The makers then advertised the plane as the one you can walk away from.

yes, a cylinder is the strongest shape, but in a plane it is also the most ugly,

Surely, if you want to talk speed, then you will, of ne3cessity have to intr0oduce the mosquito. I'm not sure if my facts are right [ but then who lets facts stand in thee way of a good rousing discussion?] but I have heard it said that mossies carried the same or more bombload than the B17...

Hey just found the smilies, now I just have to copy them right 8)

Please note, my earlier opinions are somewhat tongue in cheek, and, if I could find where the smilies have gone would give you a good dose of them. In my opinion, the B29 should not be mentioned in such illustrious and attractive company as these fine planes. The B29 in my thoughts, is a...

Ive been in the NZ marked example, and I am glad even for that experience. I was able to walk right through the accessible areas, including the office. The good thing is that this plane is based about 3/4 of an hours drive from here, and as such is always availiable for a purve. They also have...

In my opinion, biased though it may be, the lanc is first, Let me explain. I have only 1 first hand story of each type of plane here in NZ. B17, this aircraft albeit piloted [apparently] by a drunk crew took off from the hobsonville airbase, and promptly self destructed. ergo; loser. B24...

I guess that is what I get for assuming that to be the case, but he seems to be , like me fairly new to Il2

Lightning Guy Hello. I'm new around here too. And I echo what you said about Il2 . I got it when it came down to under $10 NZ [about $6-7 US.} I have now got all the updates, but like yourself I dont know about the keyhole option :BIG:
