For reasons to complicated to go into, PAD aircraft just do not 'Light my Fire'. I think the 146 (the true Brit) deserves a full blown CBFS team model.....one day!

The Air Force example get arround quite a bit so perhaps they don't spend much time flying withing NZ
With the 146 I think there was a problem with the handling at Wellington with the crosswind??

There is some good videos on youtube of the 146 landing at Wellington on a windy day.
Sometimes the RNZAF 757's are in the UK attending airshows.

Have not had chance to play with this latest release but I am looking forward to it as I have really missed not seeinga 146-100 in FS. What are folks opinions on this little gem then? I see it has a VC is it good?
Cheers Bob and team for getting another rare bird airborne in FS

They've done a great job on the 146 Tony, the VC is very nice, alot of hard work went into getting the -100 to were it is now. Well done to all the team I say

PAD aircraft have never been among my favorites. Why, I don't know. But their 146 is truly outstanding and I'll be flying her a lot. Thanks, PAD, for a WINNER!
