Thank you so much for the link, excellent pictures!

How much longer until the 190 flies again?

Thanks for keeping us updated on the French aviation scene. It's not easy getting info from that part of the world over here.

:D

Hey Xav, I did some surfing and enjoyed a lot of the screen shots from the FAFG forum. 8) What flight sim are you guys playing?? The graphics are superb!

Is it just me, or does that cowl bowl look really odd on that DC-3/C-47? Or is it a license-built example?

As Fred said, we're playing on il-2 1946, with some mods (maps, effects, new planes)

Glad you enjoyed the pics !!!

It's got the 'super DC-3' cowling and gear door covers - a postwar mod.

It's called "DC-3 maximisé" in french. It's an ex-Air-France plane.
