AlexF389 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hello Chaps, After a few months off due to various RL commitments, I'm back flying in the virtual skies. Bought me a new Beech Duke which is gorgeous! However, they now say that shes costly to run..! Never mind! A few shots from a flight from Compton down towards the south coast. I had the pleasure of flying into Compton Abbas as a student pilot IRL a couple of weeks back - my instructor said that I'd never find it. Thanks to Orbx and a fantastic rendition of the airfield, I found it first and proceeded to fly a really good circuit before touching on 26! ..My instructor couldn't believe I'd never flown in there before... Warming up at Compton Abbas High at 10k feet Gotta love that walnut dash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Welcome back Alex. Some fine shots there of the wonderful Duke. Natty paint scheme will ensure that your Duke can always be found. Yes, can be a little challenging to find Compton Abbas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic story (and promotion...), Alex! I am sure you were proudly enjoying the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbxtreme Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Welcome back. Great set, this Duke is a winner. Always a plus to be able to practice on a virtual airport where we learned how to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
