#7... can see you are getting comfortable in this sim - with your Truk surrogate!
Was there ever a clean one flying? :lol:

Lovely shots, just need frost around the windscreen.

Something wrong with the centreline there SP? :D
Nice pics. A good name for that aircraft.

Every time I see a Caribou I’m reminded of that haunting footage of one taking off with the gust/control locks engaged.
It was a test flight as part of a turbine conversion carried out at Gimli airport, Canada back in 1992.

Caution: Some may find the video disturbing. I used a hyperlink rather than embedding.
