Apparently I pushed the Griffon in the Real Air Spitfire too hard because I blew the engine outside of Valdez, Alaska.  I surpassed myself on the landing though.  I dead-sticked the thing in from about 30 miles out, starting at an altitude of around 15,000 feet.  I was so busy, I forgot to take pictures of it.  I was cruising along, smoke started pouring out of the engine, and then I had a flame out.  I'm going to have to clean the seats in this one tonight!  Grin

Best damn landing I ever did!

That should have been '30 miles out' not '0'  Roll Eyes
