After seeing some video of this beautifully crafted plane designed by Captain Sim, I had to get her! Screamed out of Grove Airport in Washington State to a crowd of on lookers who were quite surprised to see an aircraft like this roaring through the skies!

PS. I am still waiting on my system to be fixed so these were shot with not the specs listed below!

Rumbling to the end of the runway.
...

An old timer who had his jaw on the floor shot this!
...

Cleared for take off!
...

The rumbling beast gently leaves the earth.
...

The fun now begins!!
...

Hope you liked and I am pulling my hair out waiting to get my PC back!!!!

Stunning! Love that paint job.

Oh yeah, is it very often that a Russian pilot get 12 confirmed aerial kills? Last pic.

P.S. Did the yak in the last pic have a different paint job than the others?

Oops!!! This package comes with about 8 repaints. I guess that one got mixed into the wrong folder!  Good eye!  Wink

P.S. Why weren't those kills painted in swasticas or the german cross thing?

P.P.S. Is that a bullet hole right above the guy on the far left's head?

Thanks for all your nice comments. I really miss posting shots. After having a few hours with my new PC, I find it hard to fly and post when I know the final outcome!  Wink

Russian aircraft victory markings are assiciated with the aircraft, not the pilot.

And what are those german BN Islanders doing in the USA?
