• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

That's what you get when you assume .... I thought the local was hollering Long Island over the scratchy radio ....

He was actually trying to tell me that I was headed for the wrong island ..... :biggrin-new:




Turning West
 
Yeah mateys I'm not going to get this done before the deadline.


Hat's off again to Miss Nellie and her brilliant committee for throwing this Terrific event at us to enjoy .... I sure did .... three times and this small piece.


I'll hang a few snaps ... in an additional post or two ... of the "Lucky 13" in the next few days.

Mostly on and around Noemfoor Island (Kornasoren WA0K in FS9) to make the commemoration that I initiated a little more proper.




All the best to everyone of the participants as well .... Great fun following the threads.



Cheers,
 
A few screenies from Noemfoor Island

Returning from an early morning patrol .... flying a right hand pattern to RWY 27 WA0K







Turning to base ... need to get the pinup art out of the day's sunlight .... she ain't dressed for a lot of that.

That P-40 is fine looking ride. I was going to enter Flight Replicas RAAF version for another run, but ran out of time.
 
Thanks .... I think so too.

I had accumulated all of the pieces to build a 2D cockpit, lacking in the Iris model, but the time just gets away.

Great fun .... maybe a similar style event sometime .... in a different theater.




Always a blast with Miss Nellie's Committee here at SOH :encouragement:
