:clap: Excellent bit of historical insight! From that French link: The winter and spring of 1917 passed in inactivity, which the pilots took advantage of to paint splendid personal decorations on their aircraft. That's war alright: hurry up and wait. Who knows what Jean Bignin's classical education encompassed? But I'd go for a faun, being one who is intoxicated with life! Well done, JK.

Can certainly be a very impressive sim. It's too much for me to learn though. I think it'd take a British carrier and / or Buccaneer, Hunter or Lightning to really get me into it

Brilliant JK. I really enjoy your historic perspective.

Thanks very much, but remember these are not my shots...just tweaked screen grabs from some very clever people. Hopefully, I will give you some of mine soon.

Great clip! I've been flying the Bf109G in MSFS. It is a real handful closer than 50ft. off the ground. Takeoff requires full RH crossed ailerons, and quick reaction when unsticking. Goodness knows how those few got it off the ground as a nose-heavy version with higher P-factor.

Great shots .....these caused quite a stir back in the day. "Variously referred to by American media as “The Stab in the Back-yard”, “The Fishbed Flap” “The Redhawk Incident” or more ominously “The Canuck Invasion Crisis”, the Redhawk Program brought Canadian-American relations to the breaking point."

Great work, I do like the two-seat version...and that paint is very fitting.

nice shots, and yes, I like that Hunter as well! This was my favorite colorful Hunter: jk5541 by JanKees Blom , on Flickr

Splitpin, Thanks for your kind words. Regards, Aharon

I honestly thought those last pics were from the sim...sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. Thank you for the heads up about NZ1015.

One of my favorite types and generally underrated as a fighter. Superb shots.

That's it :thumbup: :rockon:

That Sim certainly has all the eye candy. Great shots.

...long been a site of spiritual importance and a source of artistic inspiration Indeed. Nice subject for a Real vs Sim, too.

Great shots Nick, one of my favorites as well.

Very impressive view of extremely well detailed landing gear. It needs oil!! Regards, Aharon
