"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

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

It's a Spitfire Tr.9 in Irish Air Force markings. You can download the Aeroplane Heaven freeware version of the same aircraft here. Note it's FSX compatible http://www.heavenlyhangars.com/ahmembers/index.html

PS. I took Ozzy's sig pic at Duxford in 2005. It has since been repainted in RAF markings.

Thanks Hagar, great photo of a cool airplane.
I will definately check out the DL from Aeroplane Heaven

EDIT
I downloaded the aircraft, just one question. There are a lot of gauges, are they all FSX compatible?

Great shots Chuck.

I would love to have it, mainly for the Spit. But unfortunately I can't buy everything I want, at least not at once, and it is not high enough on the 'priority' list. Sad

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I couldn't pass them up. I had zero British WWII era planes before.....and the Me-109 is a nice bonus.

I believe so. I have it working in FSX with no problems.

All gauges work fine......... airplane is great

Although, for some reason the skin is semi-transparent Huh

I can see through it like it's a phantom Shocked

Hmmm. There must be a fix for that. It works fine on my system.

I am a dough head......in my haste I downloaded the FS2004 version instead of the one for FSX Undecided

I got it straightened out....works great.
Thanks again
