It's the hight of the Cold War. Soviet Forces are gathering in Eastern Europe and tensions are high...
...
Gathering Intel. An RAF Jaguar makes a low level photo run.
...
V-Force. A Vulcan scrambles out of RAF Waddington.
...
Low Level. Using the terrain to hide the approach.
...
Bomb Run. Over the enemy airfield.
...
Bombs gone! Full power pull up. Look out for Tripple A!
...
A welcome sight. An RAF VC-10 tanker stands by to top off those empty tanks.
...
Almost home. Coming down into a cloud covered Waddington.
...
Safely home. This time was just an exercise. Next time it could be for real.

This Vulcan is an absolute masterpiece!,
I'm afraid that the Vulcan isn't Free, but its money going to a very good cause, to get the real XH558 back into the air. So for me i dont see this as a problem at all.
The file is £20 with 50% going directly to The vulcan to the Sky campaign. If you like Military, you should buy this one for sure, even if its just for the awsome sound set. It has to be heard to be believed.

£20 = $31 US Dollar (approx)


It will be money well spent.

The only time I will use payware is for charitable causes. I've only ever bought 1 payware, where all of it went to the RAF Benevolent society.
Where do i donate? Grin

I'm sure I got the Jag here at SimV in the FS2K2 military section. It needs a twin engine jet fighter panel and uses the Lear sounds but really needs something a bit louder me thinks!

It's from Phoenix Simulations and 50% goes to the Vulcan to the Skies campaign.
The Vulcan was a true show stopper at airshows and is sadly missed. I really hope they can get this flying again.

Shocked I mean it's a great plane, and a lot of it is going to a good cause, but that's a lot of money.
