    Default A Blast from the FS Past

    Trying to diversify what I've been flying recently - this one has recently reappeared on my favourites list, the classic Milton Shupe Howard 500, updated for FSX. The virtual cockpit is showing its age a little bit, but the rest of the aircraft still looks as stunning as it did when it was first released, and it flies great too! This flight is a bit of a shake off of the cobwebs, flying across Tennessee from Tullahoma to Millington. Enjoy the shots!

    She climbs like a rocket and gets along at one heck of a pace - crosscountry touring doesn't get much more stylish than this! (in fact this particular aircraft, N500HP, one of two currently airworthy Howard 500s, was once owned by Elvis Presley!)





















    Landing sequence in the reply.

    Arriving at Millington Municipal airport - winds are light which is good for landing a taildragger on a sealed runway!













    That's all, comments are welcome!

    Certainly has been a while since I have flown this one! Great pics, I love how she sits so poised with her tail up, looks super graceful.
