de Havilland Vampire T. Mk.55

File Description:
The De Havilland Vampire was the aircraft that brought the South African Air Force into the Jet age. It came into service in South Africa in 1950, replacing the Spitfire and served as front-line fighters until 1956, when the Sabre replaced them. They were then used as trainers until 1972 when the Impala (AERMACCHI MB326) finally replaced them. This aircraft (Nr. 277) is still flying, operated by the South African Air Force Museum in Pretoria. It has full animation, including an opening canopy, a dynamic virtual cockpit, full lighting effects and a checklist.
