"Those Maginficent Men In Their Flying Machines" take to the skies again!!
This style of aircraft is my favourite in FSX, just can't get enough of them. Forget the computer controlled juggernauts rocketing around the world now, or even the highly sophisicated GA aircraft that abound today.
Give me canvass and string any day! Oh how I wish I was around at the dawn of flight.![]()
What's amazing or sad, depending upon your point of view, is that this airplane had a max useful load of only 162 pounds. I would have overgrossed this aircraft when I was a very skinny high school student! I was about six feet tall at the time. I seriously wonder how tall the pilots were back then?
