andy1252 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 A Tu-95, out of Archangel, up around Murmansk, Norway etc and off to Iceland via Jan Mayen. Not a terribly cohesive trip, reset and changed season/time a couple of times but still fun This is coming out from Norway (I wandered off course a bit) over Iceland now Lining up for Keflavik Bit like flying the QE2, this. Not saying she's slow to turn or anything (much) And finally, parked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Wonderful set of caps Andy. The second one is amazing with the water illuminated and the colour of the sky. Doesn't sound that this relic from the past is too nimble in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taph Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 the more I looked at it the more I thought it ought to be framed, hope you don't mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1252 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Thanks everybody. Glad these appeal to other folks as well. Nice job on the framing, Taph. Back in one of my previous lives I used to quite often buy posters or prints (or occasionally even actual proper paintings) when on my business trips. There was a little local picture framing guy near where we lived and I must have spent hundreds of pounds in there over the years getting stuff framed up. I've still got quite a few nice ones knocking around - got a nice pair of watercolourish ones with a Connie and a Stratocruiser in blue metal frames. Funnily enough, when we moved down here and were looking for a business to run for the last decade or so of our working time, we almost bought a framing business (but ended up with an antiquarian & second-hand bookshop instead - probably a better deal as I have one hell of a library now!) And Martyn, I quite like these big old boats, but as most of my sightseeing is done in the likes of a Cessna or the Staggerwing I've gotten used to just being able to fling things around. I probably need to learn a bit more about navigation and anticipation in my "flying". Hey - one step at a time - I'm only just getting used to the idea of trimming and using flaps etc (what's that sound? Ahh yes, the sound of serious sim-pilots banging their heads on the table) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
