Random toys from my hangar


Recommended Posts

Decided to take a few free flights in different models, just fooling around no planning no weather no calculations.

That is my idea of the most beautiful aircraft that ever flew.

Hope you like it. Be well everyone.

Great toys!! Love the pics :cool::eek::pilot:

 

At least this once His Peerness is correct! Those are great toys!!

 

Speaking of which, my newest dream plane is the new Cirrus Jet!! A single turbo jet right in front of a Delta Tail. Cruise ceiling of FL280 and over 3,000 mile range! Plus of course, the Cirrus air-frame parachute.

 

I can't wait to see more on this one!!!! It looks great in the AOPA mag!!!!;):cool::cool:

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

Friends Annber, Klee, Jan, Rupert and Adam: thank you all ever so much for your kind words. So glad you like the screenshots.

 

Rupert, I may be silly but I always see the Cirrus as a jet-engined Bonanza, despite the other differences, maybe its the V-tail. Notwithstanding, it's a lovely personal Jet. The $2M price tag is lovely too.

 

Best wishes to all.
