Well after mucking around in the Cub for a bit I decided to take the Swift out for a spin.
So I headed to my secret base in my 1934 Ford

Decided to take the Swift 2 model up

The weather seems to be closing in, and I'm in the mountains Tongue

The view from inside a ping-pong ball

Finally get on top and can now work out where I am (about 30 miles south of where I want to be and heading the wrong way Shocked

)

I decided to switch to the classic model for my final run-in

Down safely, time to change my undies Tongue

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Mark, I see you left the Ford sitting with the parking brakes on....good move, as I wouldn't want to see a classic old antique run down and immerse itself in that river......... Wink

Remote controlled Swift? Where is the pilot in the second to last picture????

He making out with some woman in the back?

My life is like the movie Office Space

The Waco and Tiger Moth are also available as freeware. I love the Moth, the animation of the pilots scarf and everything. Gorgeous!!!
Oh and the cars (and there are also some boats) come with the downloads!!! I haven't really got on to well with the boats Tongue
