Holiday Flying

Post by cflord »

A few pics of my holiday flying with my A2A airplanes (B-17G, P-40B, P-51D, C172R) and four of my non-A2A airplanes (DHC-2, F4F, F6F, B-24F).

The airfield your looking at is from WWII and is called West Malling. West Malling comes with the RealAir Spitfire Mk IX & Mk XIV. The airfield has blister hangers, shelters, tower, runway and AI Spitfires. This is the Spitfire I flew a lot before A2A made their Spitfire. I take a lot of screen shots with my WWII birds at West Malling.

Man only if A2A would do an accusim B-24 (and Lanc ) then it would be much more inclusive for WW2 vet families

Yeh, the B-24 is very special to me. Like I said in previous posts, I lost my Uncle SSgt Bob Lord (Flight Engineer/Top Turret Gunner) in a B-24M crash in 1945. An A2A B-24 would be nice. The only problem would be for A2A is, Witchcraft and Diamond LIL are the only flyable B-24s they could get data from.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've got the Realair Spitfire but for some reason the West Malling scenery is nothing like yours? They're excellent pictures.

del, From FSX Free Flight, select "LOAD" and look down the list of flights. You will find 6 flights by RealAir; choose the flight "RealAir Spitfire Mk IX - Blister Hanger 3". You should now have the same scenery I used to take my pics. A Spitfire comes up in the hanger; but you can change the plane out and use what you want. Good Luck!
