Very nice colors in these shots! Last pic... "go into the light"!

You could just smell that bird and hear the roar.

Great shots!

Larry, Ted and Blair, your comments are appreciated! :):)

Ted, long time no see, I hope all is well!

Wonderful shots of an aircraft that we don't see too often

Comrade Jan, is great to see you back in proper aircraft! Too long you have been flyink those Merican tings with the three tails. Welcome home.

Great shots, Jan! Sure miss those water landings, though!:eek:

JanKees, Klee and Zippy, thanks very much for the kind comments! :):) Waterlandings are on their way! ;)

Beautiful shots of the classic Russian turboprop Jan! :) I see you must have went back to reputable flight school to learn how to actually fly and land at an airport. :D

Thanks very much for your Comment Adam! :);)

Oh, and now we're talking again: I want to know what you did to my Catalina in Flensburg :mad: I left my precious warbird in the docks of Flensburg for only 2 hours (had a very important business lunch with a young lady) and this is how I found it afterwards:

 

 

I'm VERY angry! :mad:

Beautiful shots, i don't think Groen Links would approve of that plane, however...

Peer01,

 

I have flown into and out of Chisiniau in Moldova once--from Athens, Greece and back to it, with their national airline, in an old twin Russian Turboprop.

I speak Russian and they let me go into the cockpit and look at the instruments.

They had a large box like a TV camera on the cockpit coaming and the copilot would look at the mountain tops ahead and and in front and put the crosshairs of its screen (much like a WWII gunsight) on them to navigate...and give spoken courses to the pilot-- That was old tech and somewhat scary, but it worked as we landed at Chisiniau ok.

My wife is Moldovan.

 

What addon and which sim is your Chisiniau in the screenshots?

 

Nick, Athens, Greece.

Nick, it's FSX Gold + Acceleration. Please check this site: http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx.html You'll find freeware FSX scenery from all over the world. Search Moldavia and you'll find this airport. there's also an FS9 site. Good Luck! :)

Peer01,

 

Thanks--will do...
