The secret airplane in development

[Alan_A]

Found the turbine engine reference in the PC Pilot interview, cited in this post, with some T-33 speculation that follows.

And of course there have been plenty of other bets on the T-33, including at the top of our current thread.

EDIT: There's even a model somewhere in the A2A attic.

So, no claims to originality - I guess I'm just fanning an old flame, so to speak...

Do you know the full story of that transfer, Christian?
My memory is a bit diluted because back then he only told it after quite a number of beers because there's LBA personnel in our club he wasn't very fond of sharing it with.

The incident occured during the Ferryflight from Billund. The Pilot was arrested for the time of clarification due to a not valid rating.

Oh nobody minds, rest assured!

Right, that sounds familiar.

just an idea for a 'new' aircraft:

jk7716

while I keep my fingers crossed for a T-33.
BTW, these shots are in P3Dv4, it works well if you switch off accusim...

I broke my right arm almost 2 month ago (fracture of the right humeral diaphysis), and the orthopedic surgeon I saw yesterday told me that flying a new accusim airplane would be very good for my rehabilitation.

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but what is the scenery shown in your second shot? Looks quite spectacular...

Didnt read the whole thread I have to confess.

'Fraid not. And if the past is any guide, we won't until they release its manual.
Meanwhile it's fun to speculate.

I definitely miss Miss Lace.

It's the western edge of the Vercors, in SE France, by France VFR.

I would like to have a new airplane from A2A like a warbird or a classic twin with round engines. I find that I fly the sim a lot more when I have a new airplane to master. I just bought the Ant's T-28 B/C for 10.95 so I would have something new to fly in P3D. I have had the A model for a long time. The B/C models have a R1820 1450 hp vs the As 800 hp. Quite a difference in performance. Anyone desperate for a new airplane might take look. The A model is donationware. I have most of the A2A warbirds in my FSX install and fly them occasionally there.
