  1. Been a long time, but I now have two of them! This is the Sabena; I also kept the L 'Air Azur! So far, very fun to fly! Rick :cool:
  2. Yep, Bill, you have to "idiot proof" everything today! I like the ones I see more often than not, a sign along a residentual pond/lake that says "Beware, Alligators!" and close by another sign that says "No Swimming Allowed!" Where would we be without signs to guide us along the way? DUHHHHHH! Rick :cool:
  3. Thanks Bill and Larry! Yes, it is Larry, I have had this aircraft a long time, still liking it more. Now I am using it for the longer cross country trips which I enjoy! Some are Charleston to Baltimore/Washington, then sometimes on from there up to Boston! I can do these fast and they are nice challenges for me, both day and nightly trips! Thanks guys! Rick :cool:
  4. I can see why, the tail section is not connected to the rest of the plane and there is no pilot? :rolleyes: Rick
  5. The Dassault Rafale. Very fast, but very stable at the same time. And, fun to fly! This pic was taken enroute from Charleston, SC to Baltimore Washington Intl. Had to save the flight as the dinner bell is getting ready to happen! :cool: Rick :cool:
  6. There's always YouTube videos such as Oshkosh 2022 or Sun 'n Fun 2022? That should keep you busy for a while!
  7. ENROUTE CRUISE, Savannah, Georgia to Raleigh-Durham, NC, perfect weather to fly this beautiful aircraft! Rick :cool:
  8. Bill, that bright orange should get anyone's attention! I like it! Rick :cool:
  9. To answer your question Jan, NO, gear not down in the cruise. Cruise was actually from Savannah, Georgia to Charleston, SC. This pic was taken after the turn to final RWY 33 Charleston! In the future, I will try to be more specific as to what exactly the aircraft is doing at the moment the pic was taken!:rolleyes: Rick :cool:
  10. I had the Grumman F-14D US Navy Last Fighter 1970-2006 163904 and wanted to add others that Dino modeled. I downloaded this and received the same identical plane above. Same thing happened to another download and I am getting the same aircraft and I will make mention on that posting also. So, I have downloaded 3 airplanes and rec'd the same aircraft 3 times. 163904 is shown on the rear section of the fuselage of all 3 aircraft.

  12. The first pic is a T-45C Goshawk, and from the second pic, I haven't a clue of what it is, a twin engine fighter!:rolleyes: Thanks Chris Rick :cool:
  13. Dirty job but someone has to do it! Story behind this one, an AVA Team was doing some testing on the outside texture coatings and this was the result of one of the test results and they were so impressed by it, they decided to put it up as a freeware fictional livery and realized they might have produced a "one of a kind" (pretty) aircraft! I tend to agree, I just put it in with my other P-51 ordinary liveries.:rolleyes: Thanks Bill and Larry! Rick :cool:
  14. I was wrong, not a Warwick Carter aircraft! Sorry, I jumped quick when I first saw this and the pilot looked very close to Warwick Carter's P-51 pilots! Developed by AVA Team Rick :cool:
  15. Robin - You should be an Inspiration to all of us out there that has never come close to what you are going thru. In reading your post it sounds like you have managed to accept this catastrophic event for what it is and to somehow deal with the hopes and setbacks associated with the extensive injuries you received! My hat goes off to you my friend, hang in there, you will be thought of by all, our hopes and prayers will be with you! Wow, when we think we got it bad, comes nowhere close to what your are going thru!:rolleyes: Take care Robin! Rick G
  16. Beautiful aircraft and some very nice pics of the terrain below you! Thanks for sharing Darryl! Rick :cool:
