Not wanting to steal Zac's thunder here - I copied him in downloading the 15meg Ju-87 Stuka from flightsim.com and took it for a whirl around cold grey Isalmi, Finland - the dark, miserable weather perhaps a perfect metaphor for the destructive purpose for this dive-bomber's design, however, being an Englishman who grew up in the past-WW2 era, I was never around to see the Junkers flying purposely in its hayday, so I just sit behind a desk at the other side of the world from where it flew, and marvel at what an amazing technological feat this aircraft performed.

Damn good to see Zac back and already created a following , the Stuka , this machine in its own rite has to be a great plane! ... from Spain , the Battle of Britain , the Med to Russia , now were is our talented German WW2 painter 'Panavia'
Very nice Andy! Nice to see you playing around in an aeroplane with the third wheel in the right place That scenery looks like the AlphaSim Ju87D would be right at home!
And Ian - I hope like mad Panavia sees his way to doing some paints for the freeware model.....BoB yellow noses, mid-war splinter camo......*drools*
