Beautiful model from Milviz, and repaints from KCGB at Flightsim.to
I've been lucky enough to have had 3 amazing flights in one of these.
One in particular stands out , while overnighting at Franz Josef on a tour. I got talking to one of the pilots at lunch, and he offered me a ride over to Mt Cook to pick up something for a helicopter and then back to Franz.
Its a really short flight but spectacular, and the arrival even more so. He briefed me for a Beta decent....the puker factor was off the scale, almost vertical nose down just short of the threshold ...but really slow.
Then out of Beta...touch down and reverse, stopping almost straight away ....amazing aircraft.
Ended up having a few beers with him and another pilot that night, some of the stories were really interesting. Every time I mentioned that I needed to eat something, they said (as they shouted another round) "there's a pork chop in every pint"
That was the only time I breached the company policy of no alcohol 8 hours before departure. I must have contracted the flu overnight, as I wasn't feeling that great in the morning....or maybe it was the whole pig I ate the night before.
Anyway, I'm going to fly the wings off this model ....loving it....sorry about the waffle.
