JK and Simon , thanks for looking :)

Certainly a nice looking aircraft. I would have thought that it would cruise faster than 150 kts. Sleek, carbon and with retractable gear, I would have thought that it would be around the 170 mark.

I just remembered that one is an AD-4W...I think. When the Brits retired the type, the radars were fitted to the early version of the Shackleton.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!! Many thanks!

Jankees, The funny thing is that 10 hours later after my posted question, my tv was showing history of participation of that SAME plane and SAME livery in the Vietnam war and how that plane managed to shoot down MIG-17s in dogfights!! Regards, Aharon

Thanks very much JK.

:hesaid: Superb .

Nothing like getting up close and personal with The Moose. "If you get any closer, please, introduce yourself"....Read that on a bumper sticker

The Able Dog... The Flying Dumptruck...Sandy. The Skyraider holds the "distinction"of dropping a toilet "bomb" and a kitchen sink on the Bad Guys. It excelled in its role as Combat SAR cover, the NVA didn't much like Skyraiders.

Waterborne Truk :lol:

The colour scheme, typical from 1941 onwards instead of green and brown, did indeed exist.

Charl: Thanks Charl! Yes — that’s exactly how it feels: like a Caravan with a bit more muscle. And that’s a perfect match for flying in Nepal. I’ll check out the link you shared. Splitpin: Thanks a lot! The terrain looks intimidating, but the 408 actually gives you a good sense of reserve in the climbs. Glad it made your must-have list! jankees: Thanks! It really does feel like the Twotter’s little brother — just a bit more modern and calmer to handle. I had a great time with it. Aharon: Thank you! This hop ended the classic way: into Kathmandu, runway 02. A beautiful approach, especially in...

Imgur is banned in the UK so it won't appear for UK residents ....don't ask me why it is banned Ta, Naki... That explains it.... :o ...! After a search, this comes up...>>> "Imgur" image posting platform... A funny old do.... :rolleyes: ...! Paul....using "IrfanView" Image site...for all my Pictures, etc... :D ... :D ... :D ...!

Yes, I have considered this package. Are those apron markings a confusing mess or what? Imagine trying to park on a wet night. I guess the 777 disappeared after landing due to no large gates available to park at. That's actually been improved since the late 2010's. It was much much worse.

My first Brazilian Ouch .. that sounds painful :lol: :lol: :lol: At the Queen St Markets in Bris-bunn you could buy an unwaxed Pink Lady :D Brazilian Stuff... ...and what is involved... ..at a price!..... :blink: ... :blink: ... :blink: ....>>>> Paul.... :uk: ... :uk: ....!

That's a great set of shots of the RAAF Black Cat...actually, stunning is how I would describe them.
