Nice to see some new paints for the Bear Mig, looking good Zolts, one of my all time fav's.
You've said what we're all thinking!!

Flying the Wilco Jump Jet around Wittering has become a whole lot more fun lately for a number of reasons...
Repaints... Shar1 ones I did myself and that DaveB released, and the Harr3 repaints I discovered on flightsim.com with your tip
Retro AI Traffic. I've had John Youngs Beautiful AI models for some time but they don't come with Traffic files and I had no Idea how to create them. However I recently invested the time to learn how to use AIFP3 to generate my own traffic files. I've also learned how to use ADE so that I could add parking to a lot of FTX airfields with no or limited parking (never quite understood why that problem exists)... quite a steep learning curve to say the least but now Wittering has GR3 and Shar traffic, Lossimouth has Buccaneers and I'm expanding from there.
Again on comment made somewhere on SOH I discovered Rob Barendregt had done an updated VTOL gauge for the Wilco HJJ that seems a big improvement. Happy day.

Yup.. it's nice to see some interest in the 'real' Harriers again I do wish Wilco/AH hadn't modelled the CBLS pod on the SHAR when drop tanks are selected. In fact, I wish they'd not modelled it on the SHAR at all!! It looks completely out of placeFlying the Wilco Jump Jet around Wittering has become a whole lot more fun lately for a number of reasons...

If you were to paint "Lt. Bernard" under the aft cockpit canopy rail, that could have been my father.
He was an FI at Pensacola, and later at North Island. Obviously, more than a few years ago.
He was, ummmmm, "ASKED" to depart Pensacola after a small incident during a change of command ceremony. He didn't get along well, to put it mildly, with the out-going CO. He got rather well lubricated (drunk as heck!) and during the ceremony leaned against a palm tree, shouting "HA!!" at the top of his lungs every time the CO paused in his speech. Full dress Trop Whites, sword, whole nine yards.
Needless to say, he was told later (once he sobered up) he could take the transfer or never see another promotion. A death sentence for an Officer's career. He took the transfer.
Thanks for the great pictures. Brought back nifty memories of listening to my father's "war stories" during parties at our house when I was growing up. He always laughed at the old war movies, too, where they used the SNJ for the Japanese Zero. Which was most of them
Thanks again!

Shalom and greetings all my pals,
I know all of you are suffering from oppressive summer heat so presenting the snow blowing touchdown report to cool all of you in summer heat where all of you can see Dreamliner making smoothest and softest touchdown while battling snowstorm
Deploying landing gear during final runway approach to ESSA Stockholm Arlanda Airport runway 19L
Seconds before touchdown already blowing away snow debris on runway
You can see the rear landing gear making softest touchdown still tilting upward while the wheels are already rolling down creating snow blowing dust
Finally the rear landing wheels made full runway contact giving all of you excitement by creating massive snow debris behind
Because of regulations of the forums not allowing more than 4 screenshots per post, please be kind enough to go to this hyperlink to view rest of exciting snowy touchdown.
Here is the link: http://tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/th...wing-touchdown
Thank you for viewing and please stay tuned for my next exciting flight report. I am trying to clear out and publish backlog of 14,000 screenshots!!
Regards,
Aharon

Cheers for that Pat, I often see the old Jap txan when watching the old school movies, just like the German marked halftrack or the German M26 or M41 painted up as a Tiger
on another note a Australian version of the Texan aka the "wirraway" which was a cheaper and more fabric version, was also credited to shooting down a zero
