• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Classic Wings D-558-I Skystreak

Nice! Very nice! Very rewarding to fly this one. What's with the tractor that I see in the selection screen? How do I make it show up in the sim?

(And this should be a sticky if you ask me!)
 
She's a beauty and is lots of fun to fly. :wiggle: Thanks a bunch to all involved in her creation!

Thanks as well. :icon29:

Several years ago over at Netwings, I exchanged pm's with a fella whose grandfather was one of the chief test pilots on the Skystreak program. He had set up a website dedicated with photos and information that has long since vanished. There were some good stories!

Edit: Turns out the site is still around. The test pilot was Gene May.

Great early Experimental Jet! Happy to have it. Those of us here who have flown supersonic in real life (Me with the F/A-18 A&B) know that you do not hear the sonic boom inflight, cool effect anyways.

thx for the HU on this. I downloaded a whole slew of planes from that site and theres some really nice stuff there. They appear to be built using very solid diesign principles - don't overdo the details so the performance stays nice and smooth but theres a very appealing cleanliness to the textures and lines. Very nice... :)
