Down the nile wearing only sand and a little pink!

That's got you thinking hasn't it

I don't know about you lot but if you're like me.. you have a hangar full of desert paints you rarely ever use so.. I took the opportunity to blow the cobwebs off a few
LHC Fairchild Argus..

FSAddon Storch..

Flight Replicas P-40..

Flight Replicas Bf109K4..

Classics Hangar Fw190..

Hawker Heroes Hurricane MkIID..

JF Hurricane MkI..

FSAddon Lysander..

RA Spit..

DG's Beaufighter..

Alpha/Virtavia Blenheim..

Alpha/Virtavia He 111..

Milviz Stuka..

Roy Chaffin's B25..


I'm sure I have more but I thought this would be enough

That's a fresh approach, Dave!
I've seen either a rebuilt or replica Storch, and by golly, it just about used the length of a handkerchief to get airborne.
Funny how the codes on the Blenheim are in camo colours, with a B.. great RWB target on the side!
The Tank-buster Hurri cannons would have packed a whallop.
EDIT
btw, love the flaming exhaust on that B25; is it animated?

[Aharon]

wow how did you manage to find location of the famous Pyramids on FS2004 or FSX!!!

Cheers chaps

Re the exhaust on Roy's B25.. I think it is animated a wee bit.. animated in that it flashes a bit. This is the FSX version and I can't remember if was any more or less animated in FS9 I'm afraid
The Storch paint lives on the example at Old Warden and yes.. those old girls are up and off in zero time at all I'll bet the pilot felt the recoil off those canon on the Hurricane too

Aharon.. I'm sure the Pyramids are there in FS9 but the shots are from FSX. Start yourself off at Cairo International and fly west until you hit the Nile then follow it south. The Pyramids will be visible very soon on/off the west bank From Cairo.. you're only moments away even in something comparatively slow

DaveB,
been looking for that Spit paint but no luck. I found 'X' in pink (MK716) and 'R' in blue (PL965) but no 'R' in pink ... is it by any chance one of your own making ?

Also going to have to give serious consideration to getting that MilViz Stuka, especially given that it includes a 'G' model. Just wish there were more repaints for it.

ATB,
Ro

Ro..

Can't remember where that came from. Hang in there and I'll zip it up for you
The MV Stuka is a 'must have' for all Stuka fans. I had an 'evaluation' version and was impressed enough to buy it in one of the many sales. Like many models.. it does rather more than I need it to do but it's nice having something new to discover

Aharon..
An easier route for you to the Pyramids. Go to HEEM in FSX and fly approx 190-200deg. You'll see them almost as soon as you lift off

Not much to see inside.. I've just made off with the remaining artifacts!!

Dave,

Thanks for tips!!! I am thinking of flying Israeli air force C-97 past those Pyramids!! Actually, Israeli air force C-97s landed on Egyptian air force bases to unload supplies for Israeli army forces who were 30 miles deep inside Egypt from Suez Canal in 1973.

Regards,

Aharon

I did wonder if there was an ulterior motive

You be safe out there
