Well, I've had FS2K2 for about a week now and it's about time I beat up the scenery a bit!
...
Ready to go. Spitfire MkXIVe.
...
...
...
Beating up the field at my local airport, East Midlands, at Castle Donnington. Sadly my workplace that is just accross from EMA is not included in FS2K2 or a bit of low level straffing with the 20mm's would be in order!
...
"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!"
...
Putting the wind up the 12.20 to Malaga!
...
I don't remember that Dome being in the centre of London!

...
Tower Bridge sight seeing tour, Spitfire Style!

Having been a combat fan, I didn't know what I'd make of FS2K2, but I have to say, I love it Grin

Ozzy pal, that first MkXIV is from the FS2K2 section on Paul Rebuffat's site. There is a HF Mk VII there also.

I did try to go under that bridge Woody pal, but ended up doing a power boat impression. I'll try again and if I pull it off, I'll post the proof Grin

Excellent response Mark............Not that I am conceding  at this location, but you have done an acceptable  and expected  "Ozzy" job with this bridge...........soon you will be doing loops and rolls, dead stick, in a Twin Commander Shocked....................and we all know who does that already...............BH.................. 8)

Now since this thread belongs to Tempest, we  see what ya got bud and I do believe that you are just another "Wild and Crazy Flier", .......you are a most welcome member to this insanity ! Wink

Hmm I tried that in a Lanc... However it only just fits and is a right b*tch to get low and keep it there.

I hereby declare that I will fly a B52 under Tower Brigde, The Golden Gate Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge.  I will take screen shots and post them if I think they are any good.

If I don't think they are any good you will all have to take my word that I have completed the challenge.

If you believe that you'll believe anything.

Seriously Whitey, I did consider that and even took to the air to see if it was at all feasible.........those roadway arches are not open in the structure, and even if they were, the approaches make it a very, very, tough task.........both sides are almost totally cutoff to air-traffic by neighbouring buildings on my scenery

Hmm, well I thought I'd post a couple of shots to show Will which is right side up around here! Think I'm going to have to found a Nutter Sqn. for you guys, you're all as barking as me, I think the T-38s tail touched as I could see what looked like a splash behind me! Bugger, and now its expected to take something big through... Hmm Grin Ohh and Whitey, you can't get anything through across the bridge, the entrances are too narrow, I tried everything, Pitts, Wallace Gyrocopter the lot!
