Barrel !!!!!!

I always feel sorry for this brave little F3F in relation to its nickname, certainly since it's known that pilots referred to it as a wonderful aeroplane to fly. In my native language (Dutch), 'barrel' means 'rusty piece of junk', ususally in relation to a vehicle. Now put that in bold lettering with 6 exclamation marks to boot and it's not hard to understand it won't go unnoticed by me... :)


It's actually not that much of a glamorous nickname in English neither, is it.. :)

Can't wait for AH 2.0's new rendition to be released. :cool:
 
Is that really a DC3 with those wings, horizontal stabs and fin?

Nice looking paint and screenie anyway:encouragement:

EDIT: Ah.. Super DC3;)

Well, growing up in the US we had "roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun" - the lyrics to a polka song I believe that are bit more cheery!

Re flying the F3F, I was introduced at a social event by my Dad to Leroy Grumman when I was a kid and recall he jokingly claimed that the F3F was so sensitive you could make it back left/right just by leaning in the seat left/right without needing to move the stick! It was one of my Dad's favorite planes and we built the model with the gear that lowered by spinning the prop.

The C-117 was referred to as the Super DC3. The clipped wings, nacelle fairings, stab mods and PW R-2000 radials were part of a the upgrade that gave the aircraft better performance. A wonderful present day working C-117 can be found in the movie "The Big Year".
 
Ok, the FTX/Orbx KSEZ Sedona airport is awesome.

I normally dont buy airports, just main regional sceneries, but I broke down in a point of weakness. Great place to fly my "restored" warbirds!

hahahaha..

I thought Wadpol travelled further than this side of the pond. It's a wadding.. like a bound cotton-wool if you wish, soaked with aircraft specific polish.. similar in many ways to Brasso (assuming Brasso travelled further than the UK);)

Lovely Lightning shot Dave (as per):encouragement:
