Wynoochee Lake WA - (Bob's Fly-in Cabin)

File Description:
Wynoochee Lake WA (Bob's Fishing Cabin) - Airport ID: BOB (FSX). - - This is a fictitious fly-in lodge that I created for a quiet spot to fly into for weekend trips from the Seattle area. My cabin is located about 40 miles due south of Port Angeles, WA and about 50 miles due west of Seattle. - - Wynoochee Lake is a real location, but my scenery around the lake is fictitious. - - You will find my dirt airstrip to be quite challenging, although completely fly-able. My location is even more challenging at dawn or dusk with Weather. There are no approach lights, its just a rugged bush strip. - - It is extra challenging with crash detection turned on - watch out for those birds, they're everywhere and that old tree just of the side of the dirt strip - don't get too close! - - This is freeware. I hope you enjoy it. - - Designed with the FS X Sdk Scenery function of the Mission builder,Abacus Scenery shortcut tool and Lee Swordy's AFCAD. - - This scenery is frame rate friendly. - - Please read the "readme" - - by Bob Caparoula www.flydeervalley.com

Boeing B-17G 'Little Patches'

File Description:
This is a repaint (textures only) for the Donationware B-17G Late from FighterTown Design Group. You can get it here for a great price!! www.donationware.net Thank you FDG for providing this great plane!! Special thanks go to Jarink, who is a repainter in IL-2/PF. Jarink was kind enough to send me his layered photoshop files of the Noseart that I used for these repaints. I also used his repaints as a guide for my repaints. This texture represents "Little Patches" one of the B-17G Flying Fortresses of the 91st Bomb Group, 8th Air Force. The 91th BG, one of the more famous groups in the Eighth Air Force. "The Ragged Irregulars" were based at Bassingbourn, England. "Little Patches" The name "Little Patches" was acquired after the aircraft's first combat mission with Lt William Major's crew when Frankfurt flak put many splinters through the ship. The damage was primarily cosmetic but the skin required numerous small aluminium patches prompting Lt Major to name the ship.

P-47D-30 324th FG/ 316th FS #83 "Wee Three"

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A/Shockwave Wings of Power P-47D-30 Thunderbolt, representing 42-28590 "Wee Three", an aircraft that flew with the 316th FS/ 324th FG. The name came from its first pilot, who was married and had a small child, hence the "Wee Three". After he finished his tour, the aircraft was re-assigned to Lt John Jasper Yowell jr. On 19 march 1945, while on his 65th mission, to Pforzheim, the squadron was ambushed by a flight of Me-109's. His wingman, John Haun, shot down one Me-109, but Lt Yowell was hit by enemy fire and forced to bail out. Unfortunately, his parachute didn't open. He was found and buried in his parachute by French labourers. After the war, he was reinterred at Arlington National Cemetery. Repaint for FS9 by Jan Kees Blom, based on a repaint kit by John Terrell. I have included a thumbnail for use in FSX. Although the model is for FS9 only, it works in FSX too.

P-51D 52nd FG QP-U "Hey Rube! IV"

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A/Shockwave World War II Fighters P-51D Mustang, representing 44-14227 "Hey Rube! IV", which flew with the 2nd FS/ 52nd FG from Madna, Italy in july 1944, with Captain Daniel Zoerb as its assigned pilot. Zoerb played in a carnival band before the war, and the expression "Hey Rube!" was used to indicate that trouble was about to break out. This aircraft ended up in Rumania. During an escort mission on 8 september 1944, to pick up some American POW's with a B17, Capt Zoerb lost power over Bucharest airfield and made a very hard landing, buckling the wings. He stayed overnight with the Rumanian pilots and was treated to a real feast: Sheep's head soup! The next day, he flew back in a B17. He finished his combat tour a major with seven kills and as CO of the squadron. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the repaint kit by John Terrell. It should work in both FSX and FS9.

Airtourer 115 'Miss Jacy'

File Description:
Kiwis are a bird that can't fly -- but in 1969 Cliff Tait showed the world that one Kiwi could fly. Setting out as a one-man mission to publicize New Zealand to the world, Cliff and his New Zealand made plane ended up making history. No one had ever attempted to fly solo around the world in such a tiny one-engine plane before. Cliff's book "Flight of the Kiwi" recounts every detail of the flight that captured the attention of the whole world. On the human side, it tells of the warm generosity of those that helped Cliff, especially the world-wide brotherhood of radio "hams" operators and of the maddening obstruction of others -- particularly the Russian officials who denied Cliff permission to land forcing him to break his flight. Above all, this is a stirring story of one man's bravery facing immense odds and winning. Visit Cliffs web site and read his history making book ... and now you can also download the aircraft (Miss Jacy) itself here or at http://www.flightofthekiwi.co.nz/

F4U Corsair

File Description:
F4U Corsair for x-plane 6.4 to 6.6 - With its huge propeller (13'-4" diameter) and 2000 + HP engine it requires a lot of skill to just get this bird into the air. The torque on the plane is so high that a fair amount of left stick is required to keep the plane from rolling on takeoff. To handle all of this horsepower and keep the landing gear as short as possible the solution was to "crank" the wing giving the corsair its unique appearance. Visibility during takeoff and landings is terrible due to the long nose. Carrier landings have to be made by turning into the landing alignment. The plane is decorated in the skin of 86 where "Pappy" Boyington of the Black Sheep squadron was photographed before his last mission. In the Pacific pilots did not fly any specific plane as they did in the European theater but flew whatever was ready to go. If you look very closely you older simmers may recognize Robert Conrad who played Pappy Boyington in the TV series about the Black Sheep.

Challenging Approach: Innsbruck, Austria, LOWI

File Description:
This is the first in a series of missions on challenging approaches and landings. The mission begins with you are approaching SBG VOR, enroute to Innsbruck, Austria, LOWI. As you approach Rattenberg NDB, ATC commands 200 KIAS and 9500' to intercept RTT (Goal 1). You are also advised to enter a holding pattern at RTT, your fix, to allow time for snow removal from the runway. The pattern is standard right-hand turns with 1.5 minute legs and 200 knots at 9500'. The inbound track is 226°, while outbound is 46°. Winds are high, so you will have to compensate to stay aligned in the pattern and certify (Goal 2). Next up is to achieve a stabilized approach on the steep glide slope to runway 25 as Goal 2. The final goal is a safe full stop landing on runway 26 at elevation 1894' The descent is near 4° gradient and the runway VOR (111.1) is offset to the right, thus the “challenge”. Complete all three goals and you certify to fly to LOWI and receive a Reward.

Boeing B-17G 91st BG (LG-O) "Roxy's Special"

• Boeing_B17G_91st_BG_LGO_Roxys_Special_1.jpg

File Description: This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors of B-17G-85-BO #43-38348 LG-O "Roxy's Special" of the 322 BS/ 91st BG based in Bassingbourne UK. #348 arrived in Bassingbourne on 18 August 1944, and very quickly received her nose art, by Corporal Tony Starcer. By 5 September, it had flown four missions to Germany. The next mission, on the 8th of September, was to the I.G. Farben Chemical Plant in Ludwigshafen, Germany. On board this mission was David McCarty, pilot, Neil M. Mylin, co-pilot, Donald L. Brazones, navigator, Frank S. Bolen, bombardier, John Cangemi, top turret, Frank F. Trim, Jr., ball turret, Charles E. Beebe, waist guns, Floyd Z. Dillon, tail gun, and Henry R. Schuls, radio operator. Around 11.35 hours, short of the bomb drop near Ludwigshafen, “Roxy’s Special” took a hit ripping off a wing. A spin ensued pinning Bolen and navigator Don Brazones in their nose bubble followed almost immediately by an explosion blowing them free of the aircraft. Bolen and Brazones were the only two survivors of “Roxy’s Special.” They both parachuted down, but not together, therefore neither knew the fate of the other until later. Bolen eluded capture for 7 days before being picked up and carted off to Stalag Luft 1 near Barth, Germany after interrogations. Brazones had been picked up before Bolen and processed through the channels to Stalag Luft 1. The two were reunited at Stalag Luft 1 where they spent the remainder of the war. On Sept. 14, 1944, the day Bolen was captured, his wife Frances gave birth to their first child, Linda, in Selma - a child Bolen would not see until returning from imprisonment and the war. The “Roxy’s Special” crash site was near a Lutheran Church in Ludwigshafen. A very respectful group of Germans removed the remains of the air crew and buried them in the local cemetery. After the war, the remains were turned over to American authorities and they moved them to a National Cemetery in Northern France. In 1947, Bolen served as casket bearer for David McCarty when he was brought home to rest in Birmingham. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by A2A.
