Great job getting her up and down safely Well Landon, it took part in 1934 in the MacRobertson Air Race from England to Australia, finishing third overall. Amazing to think that is 88 years ago! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andiflyit Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Nice shots and aircraft Paul! Did some flights in MSFS over the weekend to find a working jet for free and the sunlight is absolutely annoying, I hope they will do something so that we can adjust it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. Sometimes I just move away from 'live' and then adjust the time of day and cloud cover to suit me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
