Local Legend 25: Heinkel HE 70 Blitz

[DennyA]

Wow, didn't see this coming. Love Jorg's push to get cool, unusual pre-1950 aircraft into the sim.

A mere $9.99 if you have one of the deluxe editions, I think it's $14.99 for those in the cheap seats.

No time to fly until the weekend, but definitely will be picking this up. It looks like a Corsair, an He-111, and a Boeing 247 got caught in a transporter accident together.

And an Italy city update released too. Plus a date (10/13) for the not-in-Reno-anymore air races.

Just picked this one up. Flies nicely!

Lovely! Didn't realize how offset the cockpit was on these earlier versions. Could use a few more correct repaints.

Comming up with planes like this that even I don´t have on my "odd-flyingmachines-to-must-have-list" I sure must give them credits for.

not to detract, but interesting to see a Heinkel He 70 again in MSFS; the only definitive release, way back when (circa 2002), as I recall, is by Hauke Keitel for FS2002/Pro (and nigh incompatible with even the later FS2004) ... MSFS has indeed come a long way!

(source: release file https://www.fs2000.org/2002/03/05/fs2002pro-heinkel-he-70-g-1-blitz/)

P.S. for those interested, Keitel included in English, a detailed background history of the aircraft, which may yet prove an interesting read, in addition to documentation relevant to the FS2002 model

cheers!

Well, that's a must have since I built the 1/72 Matchbox model of it.

Lovely plane, but that Viscount in the background grabbed my attention! Be great if we got a good one of those.
