Cool vid RG. But, how come it's always dark when I fly legs...

 

[PRB]

Thanks, RG! Good stuff!

 

[Spookster67]

That's very nice.

I think I recognise all the different military aircraft, but what's the AA jet?

Good question

My first thought was it is the Convair 880 but I can't find any repaints in that style of AA.

The other thought is it is the Douglas DC8 an early model but I can't find any repaints of the DC 8 in AA for that time period either. Actually no repaints for the DC8 for AA at all.

I have been looking at HJG they have the early jets with the most accurate repaints.

So its only a guess but I think its a Convair 880 with a more modern paint.

Boeing 720B I believe.

Boeing 720B I believe.

Looks right on the money to me.

For the same reason it's always a head-wind John. If you find out what you did to annoy the FS gods, let us know so we don't incur the same wrath

Boeing 720B I believe.

OK then, so the line up is:

F7F Tigercat
F4U Corsair
P-38 Lightning
Spitfire
DC7
Boeing 720B
RB-50 Superfortress
P-51 Mustang

Apart from perhaps a military jet and a heli, everything one could need for a RTW race...

 

[Planes-11]

Very nice...

 

[Willy]

Spitfire IX to be precise.
