Class!! Is that aAlphasim's one? In my opinion we need the Supermaine Attacker, now theres a challaging aircraft to land on deck!

Cheers gents, and to Bruce for the great skins he did for her.

Tom, they are different shots but just from the same camera angle. All I did was to crop them a bit.

Would be good if Alpha up dated the Swift as well.

Going by those screenshots, you can definitely tell that the Scimitar got its good looks from the Attacker. From the cockpit forward they look very similiar (likewise with the Swift).

When doing my tractor course at Culdrose, the Scimitar was the aircraft we used for towing and pushing aircraft training, it was surprising just how big of a bird she was. The cockpit was a long way up.

yeah they are big, my grandfather can remember being in Gibraltar (LXGB) once when they did an engine run-up, due to Gibraltars location it was angled and chained to the end of the runway so the jet blast was directed into the sea, suffice toy say you could see the bottom when the engine was at full chat, gibraltar is where i use to practice carrier landing placement, that is where to land to trap, as you can see it's a beauty of a landing :icon_lol:

Just! I believe in some cases it was planned to reach flying speed shortly after leaving the end!!

The location is my favourite place Hawaii and the airfield is NAS Barbbers point (I Think).
