Maybe two different squadrons -
Defintely a twin -see the dual warning lights for fuel and oil pressures.
Could be an updated twin Beech 18, maybe an Electra 10?
May have been a TRACOM CQ det. IF LEX was in work pierside and no other east coast carriers were readily available they could have been chopped to the west coast. Tough trip in TS2As, but cheaper...
The reason is what runway to use when NORDO. Flashing green ALDIS lamp signals only tell you you have been recognized to enter the pattern, later signals cleared to land - but WHERE?? A properly...
Again, I argue the point. In my experience, tetrahedrons had a cement block at varoius points on the ground so that it could be locked / aligned in the desired direction with a metal bar from the...
A tetrahedron does not rotate in the wind - it actually is set in place, can rotate but is then locked;
See...
Select locked spot view you desire
Go to VIEWS/NEW VIEW/VIRTUAL COCKPIT
You can resize and move this new "window", superimposed on the spot view. Not too useful though.
You can close...
I agree with the 3D Pro. I have had 3 of them over a 28 year period. Only needed to replace one when the cat knocked my coffee cup over into it, fell on the floor and broke some plastic. 2nd time...
Thanks much - I still have some trouble starting new stuff
Sorry - my error; How do I delete this and get it in the right place??

This is an advanced rotary wing trainer used by the Navy for many years. Externally it is essentially a UH-1C.
The freeware MilViz Huey downloads include the -1C and -1H....
One thing to remeber - most carier jets fly with the speed brakes out on approach; this keeps the engine at a higher RPM so that engine response to throttle is quicker and more refined. Also - being...
SO you were initally an airframe journeyman; once you became a fitter, did you specialize in other areas such as powerplants, electrical etc., or just more skilled in airframe (structural)...
Nice update to a couple of minor problems - thanks again for your contributions.
Very enjoyable piece of history --
Thanks, and thanks for your work in keeping these older offerings alive in newer sim programs
The models look great and fly well in P3D4.5.
However my -3 model shows no flaps at all (missing) and no control surfaces move. The -5 model is fine in all respects
DITTO squared!
Finally done as best I can do. The first pictures the real thing at a different time and different MODEX/ BuNo.
I had to use artistic license regarding the top and bottom wings because there are no...

I have the P3D4 version and wanted to do some NAVY T-39 repaints. After some research I got interested in the fact that the Navy bought some used civilian Sabre 40 models and had them...
Best of luck shipmate, you will likely be much happier when that is fixed --
SB2U Vindicator !
Thanks much!!
Soo rivets - done in photoshop? How did you do it basically??

Great work in P3D4.5 HOWEVER - no click spots in 2D or VC to work various functions. Control stick will move, rudder pedals with joystick use. Other commands on joystick work (throttle, flaps) but...
