Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Wow !!!
*Bleep* with a capital B biggrin

I remember Clostermann indicating in Le Grand Cirque that flying the Tempest was a handful, particularly with engine management.
Similar with this bad boy, or mostly ironed out by then?

Cheers,

Such a classic command comment should be brass plated, put on the Sim HQ homepage, and have brasso jockeys designated to polish it for eternity.

Very cool experience semmern, in our little tribe here, you just accomplished what so many of us dream of. Kudo's...

Now, how about knocking out about FIFTY pushups for looking like Joe #%&*$# the Ragman while making us all envious! winkngrin


Tough crowd! biggrin

Okay, yeah...just a little envious. But, really, that's terrific. Hottest airplane I ever flew was my little SONEX. Okay, it wasn't a Sea Fury...but at least it didn't burn almost 100 gallons of fuel an hour, either.
I think, honestly though, that we're going to be seeing you posting your solo Spitfire flight in here. You're heading there, I think.


I certainly hope so! I did shoot some video with my GoPro, will try to get it on here.

Managing the old big pistons is something of a dark art. They require gentle movements of the throttle, just the right amount of priming, thorough warming and don’t like it when you let the airloads drive the propeller. Certainly is a big part of flying the old planes.


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!
