  1. John, I was just about to post the same content. I haven't DL but a few of them - working on getting many more tho'. I love Australia - flight simming is the only way I'll ever get there.
  2. When I was flying, mine was "Green Bean" as our flightsuits were green and I am quite a bit over 6 ft. and had to wear a size long. Most of the time it was just shortened to "Green". Incidentally one of my family patriarchs, way back in the 1700's, given name was Green.
  3. Circa 1953 - A large cardboard box with the top and bottom cut out to fit over me. On the inside was drawn "flight instruments, switches and radar screens". A circular steering wheel from an old toy car was some how affixed also. I would sit in the back seat of the family car (a '52 Nash Rambler) and "fly" whenever and wherever we went. As I grew older, I graduated to making plastic model aircraft. I remember the first plastic model I found in a trash pile - a Lockheed XF-90. I "restored" it and as far as I remember still had it when I joined the USN in 1961. Finally got to really fly as a helicopter aircrewman.
  4. The only picture I found of this aircraft made it look like it had seen better days. It is good some modelers have produced examples of largely forgotten aircraft that have been consigned to the dusts of history.
  5. I have actually had the one in the pictures fly over my location. Low, but not low enough to see the reg. numbers!
  6. A great set of pics! But isn't it a bit chilly for shorts?
  7. I, too, would like to find an Australian mesh. There are areas of Oz that are way too flat. Needs to look like this . . . .
  8. Nick, Back 5 months ago I experienced a massive lightning strike (motherboard, CPU, some HDD, and SDD). After a few months of trying to repair it to no avail, I finally purchased a new machine. I have finally managed to recover most of my files. I have reinstalled P3Dv3 and am slowly reinstalling all my Orbx sceneries (the hard drive that held Orbx files was a victim of the strike). I have P3Dv5.3 waiting in the wings to be installed. The reason for v3 is I understand Orbx Central may not recognize my previous v3 purchases if v3 is not on the machine and I would have to repurchase all my old sceneries once more for v5. Will Orbx Central allow me to install directly to v5 instead of copying from the v3 installation? I don't plan on using v3 after I install v5. Respectfully, JMBIII
  9. Happy Birthday, John ! I'm with your beliefs. Live long and prosper !
  10. Early congrats, gents! Keep it going - makes me a feel like a young one (75).
