Hi friends,

To end an enjoyable Sunday I thought it might me nice to post some shots of the Realair SF-260 cruising around in the Carribean. Fifteen shots of a short hop from Martinique to Dominica, a touch and go at the local Melville Hall airport and back to Le Lamentin. No screenies of the takeoff. I decided later in the flight to take some pics.
Hope you enjoy the shots. This bird is awesome! :)


Heading north towards Dominica

The touch and go at Melville Hall. Base, flare and take off again. I would have stopped here, but I heared just in time the bar was closed :+

And heading back. If I would have looked to my right instead of staring nowhere I would have seen Martinique in all its glory :)

On the approach to TFFF visibility drastically decreased...

But still enough vision to localize the airport

Stay tuned for five more!

So they moved the pilots seat to the left on the update? I think I may like that better.

Hey Peer, thanx for the comment buddy :)

Sigh... Always the same. Ah well, they must be glad you didn't park a plane inside it as well :+
Greets at home!

Yes they did, but the military rightseat option is also still available :)

Thanx Kofi, it's a fine piece of addon indeed. Took me a while to get it, but since I got it I fly it a lot and I'm glad Realair updated her for FSX soon :)
