Does anyone recognize this a/c?

I has the good fortune to be at the Lethbridge airshow again this year, and I came across these planes on the static line - I didn't recognize them, and it beginning to make me crazy not knowing what they are. Does anyone know them?

It's the de Havilland DHC-1 Chipmunk (like the one in my avatar).

The yellow one has the de Havilland Canada bubble canopy while the silver one has the British canopy.

I have a couple of hours stick time in the British version thanks to my time spent in the UK Air Training Corps as a teenager.

Rick Piper did a very nice freeware one which is available from the Classic British Files site. It was originally made for FS9 but if you get the V3 files it ports into FSX very nicely. He is working on a fully native FSX version but it's very low on his priority list at the moment so don't expect to see it any time this year.

Yes Chipmunk, and here it is for FSX (Excellent) Freeware. (http://classicbritishfiles.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=162&func=fileinfo&id=683) :ernae:

I have seen screenshots of the external model and it is extremely drool-worthy with it's bump and spec maps. It looks very sharp indeed.

That would be nice as would a native FSX Jet Provost!

Another please here for both, especially the Chipmunk!!!

[srgalahad]

I've enjoyed the Chip in FS9, have yet to install it in FSX, but if I lost both I'd still have the fond memory of a half-hour flight in "048" several years ago:jump:

Ummm errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Has there every been an aircraft posted at SOH for identification that has not been properly identified within ten minutes?

will show numerous ones that take days to drag from extensive libraries and searches and a few that have caused a white flag of surrender to be flown.

The difference with the ones "up here" is that they are mostly aircraft from the average lifetimes of current SOH members so the odds are pretty good someone has seen them IRL.

BTW Ken, if Cessna had resurrected the 310R engineering and performance but been able to go back to the 310F appearance, it really would have been a winner in my book. The 'zoomie' 310's remind me too much of the 60's chrome/fin wonders from Detroit but the 310D/f was classic.

I have heard that comment from several pilots. They like the look of the earlier 310's but they would really love the short nose combined with the revised raked tip tanks.

The long nose on the 310R provided two very practical and positive changes. It provided a storage bay in the nose (which I love) and it improved the slow speed stability and made landing much easier.

The short nose versions had a bit of a real balance issue and so often on landing it would "drop out of the sky" and jar your bones on touchdown.

The "hose nose" version stabilized all that out and so you can pull throttle to idle crossing threshold, keep the nose pointed down, flare in ground effect, and she'll settle down and touchdown very sweetly most every time.

In fact, the 310R is vastly easier to land than the Skyhawk!
