Come visit my Top 10 Australian aviation museums from all around Australia. For each museum we visit its home/nearest airfield & show 3 selected aircraft from the museum. The MSFS videos are from an Australian CAC Wirraway aircraft. See real footage of a Wirraway at the end. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Come see how the British & Norwegians helped stop Hitler's development of the atomic bomb by sabotaging & bombing the Vemork Heavy Water plant in Norway in 1942/43. The bravery & heroism of the saboteurs, commandos & pilots was absolutely amazing. Enjoy the views from a Spitfire in MSFS. Hope you like. Cheers.

In this 6th & final video covering airstrips in Papua New Guinea (PNG) for which freeware scenery is available in MSFS, we look at the top 5 major airports & include their aerodrome charts. We take the legendary Ford Trimotor as we do a circuit around each of the 5 airports. See if you can guess the movie at the end! Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Thanks so much you all. Much appreciated. Family lunch at the Pancake Parlour, more stuff for my Sim, and a few hours on the Sim, and news of Orbx’s GB South now available, etc - can’t complain can I? Cheers.

In this 3rd video in the Papua New Guinea (PNG) freeware scenery series, we look at more mountain strips with shortfield takeoff & landing tips, plus a brief analysis of PNG aviation accidents over the 10 year period 2011 - 2020. It's safer flying in PNG than what you might think! This time we take a C172 instead of the (too small) C152. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Another excellent video for us bush babies. Thanks much, Frank.
Thanks Rodger. I was particularly happy with the way the flying hints turned out for shortfield takeoffs and landing - did you find them useful? Cheers.-

In this series of videos we will review most of the available freeware airstrips in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The Part 1 video covered the first 5 highest airstrips. This Part 2 video covers the second 5 highest strips & provides hints for shortfield takeoffs & landings, so necessary in many of PNG's challenging bush/backcountry strips, high in mountains, low in valleys, often short & sloping with difficult approaches & limited or no go-arounds. Come see how I go in a Cessna 152 & then give them a go yourself. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

I really enjoyed researching & making this one, so come with me in the beaut legendary DHC-2 Beaver to check-out the Wrangell - St Elias National Park & Preserve in South East Alaska. With record-setting size, glaciers & mountains, you will love the absolutely amazing scenery. Thanks to Wrangell Mountain Air for the inspiration. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Come visit the locations in the USA & UK where the famous WW2 American P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft was made & first flew. See how USA North American + UK Rolls Royce + UK Packard = P-51 Mustang. See why the P-51D version was the most famous of all the Mustang's many versions. Fly in a P-51 Mustang in MSFS. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Follow a pilot's story, in his own words, about undertaking a life-saving Medevac flight in below marginal weather conditions in Papua New Guinea. Enjoy the flight in a Cessna Caravan from coast to highlands & back to the coast. Would you have done it!? Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

This is a true story of a Canadian bush pilot's love affair with his de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aircraft. The Beaver is a truly iconic Canadian aircraft, perhaps the best & most famous bush plane ever. The particular Beaver in this story was made in 1957, purchased by different owners in Canada & the USA over the years, & is still going strong. So many Beavers are still going - being restored, repaired & upgraded - so much so that it is referred to as the immortal Beaver. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Come join me in the famous Curtiss JN-4 biplane to see how Captain Ernest Hoy, WW1 Ace, made the 1st flight across the Canadian Rocky Mountains, from Vancouver to Calgary. In this video we will use some of the pilot's own words. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

The Crash that led to A.T.C. (DC-2 Kyeema, Australia, 1938) MSFS
in Community Videos
Posted · Edited by flsm (Frank)
The crash of a DC-2, Kyeema, in the Dandenong Ranges near Melbourne, Australia, & the loss of all onboard - 4 crew & 14 passengers - led to a national outcry & high-level Inquiry that subsequently led to the development of one of the world's 1st Air Traffic Control systems that became a model for other countries. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.
