| Jimmy Doolittle Makes History |
|
File Description:
On 24 September 1929, the first blind takeoff, flight and landing occurred at Mitchel Field, Garden City, NY in a Consolidated NY-2 biplane piloted by Lt. James Doolittle. Equipped with specially designed radio and aeronautical instrumentation, it represented the cooperative efforts of many organizations, mainly the Guggenheim Fund’s Full Flight Laboratory, U.S. Army Air Corps, U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Sperry Gyroscope Company, Kollsman Instrument Company and Radio Frequency Laboratories.
This mission is my meager attempt at recreating this flight, albeit in the FSX stock Cessna. To simulate the hood Jimmy used, I've set weather visibility at 1/16 mile to simulate flying blind. Enjoy the mission.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Consolidated B-24J by Flight Replicas, adapted for use in P3Dv5. It shows B-24J-70-CF 44-10656, which went to the RAF as KG991, who in turn assigned it to No.321 (Dutch) Squadron, a squadron operated by Dutch Naval pilots. It was used for anti-submarine and -shipping patrols over the Indian Ocean, first from Ceylon, later from the Cocos Islands and the Dutch East Indies. It was damaged beyond repair when it overshot during landing and the nosewheel collapsed in Semarang, Java, on September 26, 1945. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Flight Replicas.

The pilot, Lt. Palmer managed to reach Sweden, where he made an emergency landing at Bulltofta. The nosewheel collapsed, but the crew was unhurt. The aircraft was too damaged to be repaired and was scrapped in Sweden. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Flight Replicas.

| WV29 - Valley Point Airport |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Valley Point (WV29) is a privately owned airport nestled in the hills of Albright, West Virginia. This has been updated from defualt FSX to include the north south grass runway.
Based on local a local flight instructor, the airport should always be approached for landing going north bound towards rising terrain (if the winds are less than 10 knots). This assists with braking. A go around should never be attempted going northbound after the wheels impact the ground.
Takeoffs should always be performed going south bound (if the winds are less than 10 knots) due to steeply rising terrain (300 feet above the airport) to the north.

File Description:
RAF Staplehurst is a former World War II airfield in Kent, England. The airfield is located approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of Staplehurst; about 38 miles (61 km) southeast of London.
Opened in 1943, Staplehurst was a prototype for temporary Advanced Landing Grounds built in France after D-Day, and as the Allied forces moved east across France and Germany. It was used by the Royal Air Force, Canadian and the United States Army Air Forces. It was closed in September 1944.
Today the airfield is a mixture of agricultural fields with no recognizable remains, except a memorial now near the site.

| Piper Comanche PA-24 (N6661P) |
|
File Description:
This is a tribute to my dad's Comanche, bought brand-new in 1960. Over the next 40 years, he flew it all over the U.S., to Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and South America. He had to quit flying a few years before his death in 1999, and sold his share to his partner, who later handed the plane to his son. The plane performed yeoman service until October 2012, when the son experienced structural icing and ended up crash-landing the plane in a field. The pilot was fine; the plane was a total loss.
Textures only for the A2A Piper Comanche.
