The link is pinched from the IL-2 community, but it's well worth seeing !

Oh good, it's back up!

The Flight galleries were down for several days last week. Alotta people have been hotlinking these images in forums and
other places and I thought all this stuff had gone bye-bye because of it...

Anyhoo, I can certainly second the motion to check these out... excellent images. My favorites are the 601 Sqn Airacobras.
Hopefully some color shots of these birds will make an appearance, although I don't know if they were 'Flight' photos or not.

Here's a link to the main galleries page...


Fade to Black...

Ohhhhhhh wow............

Simply some of the best I have seen.

Look at the engine nacelles tilting with the flaps.

Tks for sharing the link. :D :D

There's a film somewhere that I'd love to save, of an (I think) English Electric test pilot walking out to a prototype Lighting wearing , Sports Jacket, Flannels and bow tie. He then proceeds to stub out his pipe, climb into the lightning and blast off into the blue yonder !! :lol: :lol:
