Yup, that's the one that made me an addict and severely curtailed my a/c purchases. It raised the bar and no one else has met it yet. It will always be a classic.

I've just over 300 hours on my BOAC airframe with one engine
at 294 hours. All four are due for overhaul once I make a flight
from Malaga to London. Hig oil consumption is limiting me to around 5 hours flight time.

Once I have the new engines I'll be heading back across
the pond. Then across the States in preparation for a
trans-Pacific journey :)

It should be noted I used IrFran Views 'auto adjust' colours on those shots so the darker shadows is not a natural in game effect but otherwise its all good :ernae:

What I really like is that Martin did such a good job ont he skin, its photoreal without there being a single edited photo involved in its painting, now thats talent!
 
Great screenshot no matter

she Looks real,,,Love that Plane

She'll work ya on take offs and landings but thats the fun of her

and once you got her trimmed and hummin its great satisfaction.

Brilliant to say the least :applause:

Potentially on the cards for later on since the chaps we work with who have the 97 also happen to have a,....:kilroy:
 
Mr. Lewis "Lewis-A2A,"

I recently got a new set of Axis' just to use with this beauty (and others like here) since under Accu-sim it feels better to have it (it almost needs it IMO). I've missed flying here...

PS: Great ScreenShots! :applause:
 
I couldn't handle it personally I'm to heavy handed with my fists of ham, I always seemed to break something when flying it lol, Great shots!
 
Could someone please direct me to where I could find the American overseas airlines repaint? What an awesome paint job. Thank you very much.

Hee hee, I know what you are up to Lewis my boy. Let me tell you right now it won't work. I am wise to your wiles and I am capable of resisting them.


Besides, I already bought it..... :kilroy:


I agree with the others, nice shots. Rather nostalgic and romantic.
