Select Historical Flight

Flying oldies is a nice way to relive the high flying past. Some aircrafts still fly but some we will never see in the air again. But in the Flight Simulator they are up and flying about. Here are a couple of my favourites.

 

 

SAS Caravelle

Sud Aviation Caravelle III in old SAS colours

A nice work by AFG/Esa Kaihlanen, Tommy Tomov, Ari Kaihlanen, Benoit Gaurant, Rui Cristina, Mark Cranston, Benoit Plamondon

Panel included.

Sound included.

My first flight in real was in a Caravelle. My love. But this one is complicated to fly or even to start the engines.

 

 

GB Airways Vickers
                  Viscount 800

Vickers Viscount 800 in GB Airways livery

Model by Ricks Paintshop

Panel by Saverio Maurri

Sound by Ryuji Ozawa. Oh, how I love the Rolls Royce Dart sound, true music in my ear. I love the engine start sequence, a slow rising squeaking ear penetrating beautiful noise. Mmm.

Video featuring this Viscount doing a pattern around Prestwick on my YouTube

 

 

H.P.42 at
                  Bigging Hill

 

Handley Page H.P. 42 Imperial Airways

Model by Derek Palmer

Panel by Saverio Maurri.

Sound, undecided, the Vickers Vimy default sound for now.

This is truly the Jewel in the Crown. An amazing flying machine, flying in an amazing time, to amazing places for an amazing airline the British Airways forerunner Imperial Airways.

Check out my video on H.P.42 at YouTube.

 

 

SAAB JA37 Viggen

Saab JA37 Viggen in Swedish Air Force light grey colours

Model by Kazunori Ito

Panel included

Sound by Per Bjorkqvist and Kirk Olsson. Sound recordings made at F4 Froson, nearest Air Force base from me.

Flying the Viggen is an oustanding experience. You just can't hold her. 100 000 horse powers in your lap. I do miss Viggen and her air display performances, coming in to a short noisy landing, reversing and going backwards and turning on the runway and making a thunderous departure again in the opposite direction.

 

 

Prinair Heron

De Havilland D.H. 114 Heron in Prinair colours

Model by Dee Waldron

Panel is by anonymous

Sound is included

Prinair was an Puerto Rican airline who had the largest fleet in the world of Herons in the 60s and 70s. A total of 28 ships were used on an extensive route network in the Caribbean
