bernd1151 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 The Fairchild F24 was built in various versions between 1932 and 1946 and was known for its sturdy design and reliability. With its 165 hp engine this W-version would cruise at 110 knots and offered a service ceiling of 12,700 ft In Yongai we are still parked next to the chicken whisperer and wait for our two passengers Two hunters want to go back to their families in Fane We are all set to go As customary, the whole village came to say good-bye The runway was pretty bumpy, but we made it in one piece No PTA here, I just played a bit with colors We pass by Woitape Getting close to Fane She and her kids are glad to see husband and father again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Wonderful set Bernd. Great livery on your vintage plane, good to see you made it in one piece. Obviously the man in the first shot was egging you on, what with the fully loaded old plane and the mountainous scenery you had to traverse. Did your passengers have to shell out much for the trip?

Jack Sawyer Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Beautiful mix of real and sim. And TAP, out of all the Orbx's I own, has to be the most colorful and vibrant, it really makes it come alive. So tropical, love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 What an awesome post, Bernd. Easy to understand you moved away from northern autumn into more sunny climate. Are the RL shots taken by yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Fairchild! Sure I have a Fairchild somewhere, but burr walnut dash? Hmm. Excellent set BTW. Were the snaps from the family photo album?? TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Hall Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 This post has just made my day, the old aircraft and the paint job are amazing, your story telling and real life mix is setting the bar at new levels, if I could vote for the best short flight story this would be a front runner. This is the kind of feedback that makes developing so much fun. thanks heaps for all the extra effort cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
