After testing out my Mercator, Night Lightning, and N9M, and finding a glitch in each one, I pulled out my new favorite plane, the Avro Vulcan XH558. Autogen textures are usually better than what is shown. This is at Moffett Field, CA.

Takeoff

I do love the shots with the engine smoke on climbout

Over Hanger One when there was still skin on it

Bomb bay open

Landing

That seem like a bad spot to be right about now

Touchdown

Indeed, very fun to fly. I would love to see the real one, but I do not see myself going to england to see it in this decade. It is nice and stable, but also has a bunch of speed to go with it. With the hanger almost fully deskined now, FSX will be the only place that I can go up to the hanger and not be able to see through it.
