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

BTW thanks to DIRTY-MAC for the link.

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.

Gotta love the British test pilots...put on your suit and tie and let's go flying!

Cool!

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 !!

Bob Hoover style!
