great shots mate, how did you get the tanks and rokets on the Lightning?

Its an F.53 of the Saudi Air Force, you can get the model update on our site. www.tlukdesign.co.uk. You must have our Lightning Package for it to work though.

That third picture, that's a Sukhoi Su-9 isn't it? Of course it could be a MiG 29 as well. Where can I download that fine bird?

What plane is that in the last two pictures? I don't recognize it. ???

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

THe third plane is a F.53 Lightning by TLUK, payware. The plane pictured in the last two shots is a North American X-15. You can get it here on SimV. You aren't very familiar with military a/c are you hehe/

The aircraft in the last two pics is the NASA X-1 aircraft which was designed to fly basically to the edge of the atmosphere, come back down to earth and land safely. To do this it was launched from a B-29 Bomber ( I think) get it's speed up and fly virtually to the edge of space.

I think it was built about thirty years ago but I'm not sure.

P.S For anyone who has the Microsoft 'World of Flight' software, (which is quite old now) there is an articual and video about it.

Oops, sorry Blade, great pics too Grin

, number 1 is my fav.
