Nice shots David!

 

I've seen them a few times RW and I think your show is great as well.

Thanks. I need a good video program to do it some justice

They were here at Thunder Over Michigan last year. Awesome show

I spent a long time in Yuma, Az, both in, and after I got out of, The Corps there.

I used to go over to El Centro, Ca. to watch the Angels practice all winter long. Like having them put on a private air show just for me to see!

El Centro is only an hour away from Yuma. Maybe a bit less if there's no cops out :D Fun motorcycle ride. Long, straight stretches of highway to let the bike run on. There's any number of places, both on and off NAS El Centro, to sit on the bike with my feet up on the bars and watch them fly.

 

Thanks for some great pictures. I really enjoyed this post!

May I ask, which Hornet that is? It sure looks good :)

David, have you ever considered FRAPS, or is that too basic ?

It's one of both U.S. demonstration squadron, isn't it? A great interest, compared to the Patrouille de France, is that the U.S. fly warplanes, as our fly dedicated planes. I've seen some vids of the Blue Angels RW, fine! :pilot:

Great flying here David! :cool::eek::eek:

Yes, the Blue Angels (F-18 Navy) and the Thunderbirds (F-16 Air Force). I've seen the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds RW a few times now. Never get tired of them! I saw the Canadian Snow Birds once. They are awesome in RW too.

Hi Pat,

 

Great story and visual! I can imagine myself there the way you told it.

 

I believe it comes with FSX Gold Acceleration. I don't think I downloaded separate textures for the default FA-18.

Great flying here David! :cool::eek::eek:

 

Thank you very much! No crash this time :rolleyes:

I remember using it a long time ago. Do they require a purchase now? Or is it for an upgrade?

[flightsimg]

and the Thunderbirds (F-16 Air Force)

That's it, the one I thought about! Never seen either because I think they don't demonstrate much in Europe :( On the other hand, I have seen the Patrouille de France numerous times. They are fine anyway! French flag up! :pilot:

It would be nice to see yours. The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds have Facebook pages you can follow

The same for the Patrouille de France, and also with Twitter. But a good idea is also to type 'Patrouille de France' in a search engine and look for videos. That usually gives a good idea of their shows! What I had seen from the Blue Angels is that theirs were most impressive due to that they use warplanes, which is not exactly the case for the French patrouille with their Alphajets, which is a mix of training and ground attack craft

Super looking airshow shots of the Blue Angels!

Thanks, I’ll have to check it out

It's a quick little download from > http://fraps.com/ >. The 5 minute sample version is free, but I was so impressed with it that I paid, I think, $27. for the full size version.

Thanks Jim. Might be worth the little extra. I’d like to get back to doing the videos

Hi David!

 

I thought that might be the default '18.

If you want a Hornet that truly flies like a real Hornet, may I respectfully suggest the FS Dream Team FSX Blue Angel's F/A-18C v18.3?

The Dream Team are the ones that developed the default Acceleration Hornet in the first place. They have REALLY improved it though. Now it's a LOT better, and much more enjoyable to fly. They are a simulator demo team, flying, if you couldn't tell, the F/A-18C. The v18.3 download includes the entire Angels squadron, and a ton of others. American and European.

 

I can't say enough good things about it. They guy working on the FCS is a programmer for the US Navy's simulator program. He knows what he's doing for sure. The rest of the team include real world Hornet drivers, both active duty and retired. They are all working to making it fly as realistically as possible, including the VC, HUD, and all the other details.

 

If you're interested, you can download it RIGHT HERE.

They have a forum dedicated to it, starting HERE.

 

If you're into awesome birds, this is the plane for you! They have a version for FSX, and P3D v4. It's fully TacPac integrated and enabled, as well.

 

Sorry, I ramble. If you like Hornets, give it a look...
