That is sweet!! Reminds of when I really wanted to meet Sky's niece Penny!

Yes, I do realize it's not made by Beech but even being larger, it has a very similar appeal! Simpler times!!

Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

David, you're very close to what I read! I found a YouTube video, an owner of one of the two still flying today! He said 17 built, and he did mention the 300+ mph airspeeds. It is a nice aircraft. Where did you download yours from? There air several repaints for this aircraft on this site.

 

Here is one of the 4 that I have. It is my favorite! It's large, it's fast and it's very forgiving being that it is a taildragger!

You got that right Larry! Everytime I get bored, I go in on the library (as I did today) and I find a new paint/livery. I get excited, download it, as if I need another aircraft, but hey, it's nice for a change. You and I aren't the only ones out there that have enjoyed what Milton has given us!

 

Thanks Larry! And you too, Milton and staff!

Rick,

 

I got the one posted at rikoooo.com. I added a "call out" gauge co-pilot to the panel and took it up for a couple of short hops around my local town. I use FsPassenger when flying and this bird is costing between $4 to $5 million. That's about all the extra cash I have at this time, so I am looking for a used one with some more miles on it to be offered to me via the FsPassenger market place. I will have this one in a few days added in to my fleet.

 

The package I downloaded had 16 repaints some were cargo models and I kept 10 of the passenger models. I will buy which ever passenger model I can purchase for around $2 million.

Thanks Steve! A yes, Milton Shupe and team are the best. Providing us with quality freeware downloads and the paint experts, a quality aircraft to put a new touch on! This particular download will never grow old, as we continue to see new paints which just makes the download that much more exciting!

Thanks Robin! Maybe when I "thin out the herd" a little on what I already have. I keep adding to the 500, as the newer paints keep coming and I keep adding! When the 350 came out, I didn't think there would be that much difference from the 500? And, these are very large downloads!

 

Have a nice day!

Very well done Rick! :cool::cool::cool: Always good to see a Howard :pilot:

 

Jan - I know you have plenty of the repaints! I was in the library couple days ago and I couldn't believe what they have added. Never ends, but, I am not complaining, they keep getting better and better!
