    Great mountain panorama there and the Taipei 101, a really unique skyscraper.

    Fantastic shots and nice Expat info, Bernd…!

    Thanks a lot, Gerold. It helps a bit that my wife and I have lived there for 7.5 years. Also both our kids were born in Taipei :)

    Beautiful scenery Bernd. It is always rewarding to fly and land correctly a demanding aircraft, but you seem to have succeeded!

    Thank you very much, François

    Great set there Bernd. The colours are gorgeous and that plane looks a tricky one to land.

    All the best,

    John.

    I'm glad, you like them, John

    Bernd, a grand set of super colorful and clear shots! The fourth shot of the G1 in the clouds is just sublime....the colors of the aircraft just pop out so nicely against those puffy clouds. Well done!

    Outstanding shots Bernd !! .

    Thank you John. It must be a déjà-vu for you again, I'm afraid :D

  3. Great shots and a much appreciated narration, Pete!! Merry Christmas to you and your family too. 

    Btw, how was your take-off? I have heard stories that it is also there a steep learning curve, as she constantly wants to veer off the runway, if you don't pay attention :D 

  4. The Sim Skunk Works Fiat G 91 can be bought from Orbx. Taipei city scape is a free Orbx add-on.

    Hengchun is a small airport at the southern tip of Taiwan. Sungshan in the north is an airport in downtown Taipei and is only open for domestic traffic.

    The big building is the Grand Hotel. Owned by the government it is one of the prominent buildings in Taipei. It has an exact copy in Kaoshiung, in the south of Taiwan. The white, flat building in front of the hotel is the Taipei-American Club, a favorite hang-out among the local and expat business community. You can even see its tennis courts.

    The Gina is almost as difficult to land as the Starfighter. Nice challenge :)

    I want them to know that there are Veterans out there now, my peers, that understand that, and that they, the Vietnam Vets, have our utmost respect. It is very important to me.

    So true, Landon, so true! The same holds true now for soldiers, who have fought in Irak or more recently, in Afghanistan. When the last German soldiers returned from Afghanistan, there was nobody there at the airport to greet them, not even our minister of defence. How shameful is that!

  6. I have never been in the sim to McCarthy, but I picked it because the flight route passes along lots of glaciers. So it should be interesting. My plane of choice is the new freeware Fouga Magister by Restauravia (see also TTM’s earlier post). If you want her, go get her from this link, boys:
