jankees Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Just bought myself the new Skysim Mirage and went for a test flight in Coffs Harbor Looks fast just standing still Flies fast too, especially with full afterburner Whoops, weather is turning bad landing is interesting, you have a big nose in front of you... runway should be here somewhere... yes, I made it! my favorite paintjob, reminds me of my old Tanguy and Laverdure comics I'm not really into jets, but I'll happily make an exception for this one!

a49002 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Jan, What is your opinion of the Skysim Mirage, most especially the Virtual Cockpit? I used to work on these aircraft in Williamtown (New South Wales - Australia) and Malaysia and they have always been a fond memory for me.

VH-WCE Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Great shots!! gotta love the Skysim Mirage!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennyson Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I agree with Paul. Seems we both worked on them, mate. I am interested to know about the Australian repaints that were coming for it as I have some good photos of my own and was gonna do a few repaints after buying the aircraft, but don't want to reinvent the wheel if somebody is already doing it.

maxter Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 A beautiful aircraft indeed and lovely screenies as well, but way too fast for me... Cheers and all the best with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krigl Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Looks very nice Jankees, and a change from your usual mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimshot Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Great stuff! I used to read Tangy & Laverdure myself too. I really liked the drawings by Uderzo, much better than the guys who drew the comic later (and whose names I therefore forgot). Thanx for the trip down memory lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
