The "V" on the tail stand for NAS Valkenburg (or Fliegerhorst Katwijk during WWII). Which was a naval airfield very close to where I live. I can't recall to have seen the Seahawk, but I can remember the Trackers. I have been stationed there for a short period. I was definitely an Air Force guy and I didn't really fit in the Navy with all its strange traditions.

The Seahawk and Tracker squadrons rotated between land-based and carrier-based. When the were on board the HMS Karel Doorman they had the "D" on their tail. There were also helicopters and lang range patrol aircraft based at Valkenburg.

Cheers,
Huub

Hey, now.. :pirate:

You would call them Engines 1, 2, 3, and 4.

We would call them Engines 3, 1, 2, and 4. Its all perfectly logical (by USN standards). :a1310:

My first day at Valkenburg, I addressed somebody with his first name, instead of his rank. Everybody was shocked (We went to the same military school together...).

The second day I wanted to help somebody, who desperately needed an extra hand. But I was told I was there to supervise and not to participate in the work. I was shocked :biggrin-new:.

Jens B. Kritensen seems to have been a prolific supplier of freeware to PC Pilot and his work is so amazingly professional - other similar things include the Douglas DC-4 & C-54 for FSX/FS9 (issue 72); Douglas DC-6 for FS9 (issue 62) and Douglas DC-6 for FSX (issue 60)

Adding text to pictures

I like to contribute visually and I'm still getting used to manipulating text & pictures in SOH, which is different from my other place of forum fun - Subsim. There I can go back to any post I made and edit it - no matter how long ago I posted it - but in SOH the editing button seems to disappear after a short time so I can't go back and tidy up mistaked (like that one). Am I missing something - I consulted the FAQs with no luck

When I was a little kid my parents used to take me down the highway to Bradley Field (now Bradley International, KBDL) where we'd sit out on the open deck right above the boarding ramp (no jetways then) and watch the planes. My most persistent early memory of airplanes is seeing those big silver DC-6s in that vintage American Airlines livery. It remains my all time favorite airline livery and it looked just as good a decade later on their jetliners.

I've been an SOH member for many years and I still get confused about images in posts. For me the big head-scratcher is why sometimes images appear full sized in posts and sometimes as thumbnails that you have to click to see the full sized image.

A software update is in the works and maybe then however it works will be consistent.

Wow! Thanks for that feedback, Mick. And re posting images - I've now worked my way around the differences between SOH and SUBSIM - it's now just this inability to edit older posts. No big deal but if we can do it under water in Subsim, then why not here - in the air?

I use "IMGUR" to edit and upload my pictures - it's very easy and dependable (and free of course) - so if you'd like an easy step-by-step sometime then let me know

i come from another era and never got to see an AOA or AA dc-6 in all its glory but in the sim i have that same livery only its for the dc-4 from JBK as we call him.

good shots rawsthorne
