QUOTE (cowpatz @ Aug 26 2012,7:40 PM) Is it good? The A2A Boeing Flying Fortress with Accusim is gorgeous , from the first time startup to the running , an oversized DC-3 in a way on steroids as some would say , crew commands to maintain it to many supreme historical Fort paints by Jan Kees , suits me due my constant sourcing the actions of the type during WWII then off course our often regular MP flights forming formations . Most Highly Recommended /plane.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :plane: border= 0 alt= plane.gif />

Here in NZ a couple of times nuclear tests carried out by the US were witnessed in one event the sky over NZ turnned white then red and scared the cr@p out of alot of people. Before one of the nuclear tests the Soviets were doing a U2 was overflying a test area just prior to the bomb going off the pilot seeing this had to nervously wait until he had flown over it which took a while as they are quite slow(45min-1hour). Early tests were atmosheric but later they started doing them underground. Unfortunately alot of people have been afftected by these tests in the past and alot have got cancer...

If you want some real world badly placed autogen check this article out !

no worries ian. thought you would like the book, just make sure your shelves are wobbly proof!!!! sullenburger's two books are titled Highest Duty, My Search for What Really Matters and Making a Difference: Stories of Vision and Courage from America's Leaders, the second is more about ledership than flying where as the first focus more on his path that led to the ditching. haven't got the books yet but sounds like an interesting read. but again can highly recommend qf32 Jason

QUOTE (Charl @ Jul 22 2012,8:26 PM) They do it with brakes on, seems counter-intuitive, but that's what they do. Makes sense, if the wheels were turning they wouldn't push nearly as much water up /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> ps - /wink.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :wink2: border= 0 alt= wink.gif />
