Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat VMF-212 Lt. Col. Harold W. Bauer, Guadalcanal September 1942 The original Grumman F4F-1 design was a biplane, which proved inferior to rival designs, necessitating a complete redesign as a monoplane, the F4F-2. This design was still not competitive with the Brewster F2A Buffalo which won initial U.S. Navy orders. Grumman completely rebuilt the prototype as the XF4F-3 with new non-folding wings and tail and a supercharged version of the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 "Twin Wasp" radial engine.Testing of the new XF4F-3 led to an order for F4F-3 production models, the first of which was completed in February 1940. The U.S. Navy officially adopted the aircraft type as the Wildcat. Armed with four .50 in (12.7 mm) Browning machine guns, it joined active units in 1940. At the time of Pearl Harbor, only Enterprise had a fully equipped Wildcat squadron, VF-6. By the end of February, 1942 the US Navy had replaced its Brewster F2A's with the F3F-3 and F3F-3A Wildcats. The fixed wing F4F-3 Wildcat was generally outperformed by its major opponent the Mitsubishi Zero, but it was more successful in combat partly because, with relatively heavy armor and self-sealing fuel tanks, the Grumman airframe could survive far more damage. In the hands of an expert pilot with a tactical advantage, the Wildcat could prove a difficult opponent even against the formidable Zero. USN Commander "Jimmy" Thach devised a very effective defensive tactic that allowed Wildcat formations to act in a coordinated crossover maneuver to counter a diving attack, called the "Thach Weave".

Airport Design Editor (ADE) is a graphical design tool to create and enhance airports for Microsoft Flight Simulators 9 and X. It takes it's inspiration from the excellent AFCAD2 developed for FS9 by Lee Swordy. ADE does for FS9 and FSX what AFCAD does for FS9. It adds support for new FSX features such as fences, jetways and terrain. Users can also remove, move, or edit existing buildings and objects as well as adding new ones In addition to airport elements ADE also has a visual Approach Editor to add and enhance the approaches to your airports ADE is being developed with the help of a small group of dedicated airport designers with a wealth of knowledge and experience. ADE sets out to achieve two things in designing and enhancing airports. First to make the enhanced airport look good, and second to make it work properly. Airport design must address both aspects - the visible and the invisible. The design philosophy goes further in assisting users of all levels to get things right from the start. Error checking and 'common sense' are built in. At the same time it is important to allow users flexibility.

Transall D77 was built in 1970 for the Luftwaffe and carried 50+55 as an identity. Replaced by the larger Airbus A400M, D77 was sold to an Australian company who wanted to turn it, and two others, into aerial firefighters. D77 became VH-TIT on 14th September 2022 and was delivered to Townsville Airport in November 2023. Fitted with a 14,000 litre internal tank, it will be operated by the McDermott Aviation Group in an aerial firefighting role. Painted onto the Capt I.D’Attomo/Capt G. Quai German Transall, I have added a water drop facility from AirFxEz. Enjoy.

Built as a B-25J for the USAAF as 44-30925, MSN108-34200 was converted to a TB-25N at some stage in its service, before being stored at Davis-Monthan in August 1958. Sold in 1960 as N9494Z, she went through a variety of owners before appearing in “Catch 22” as “Laden Maiden”. After filming, Colonel John Stokes bought the aircraft in 1975 and restored the colour scheme as she appeared in the film. Colonel Stokes very kindly sent me several photographs of N9494Z when she wore the scheme that I have used on this model. The late John Jeff Hawke bought her in 1978 to continue her film career appearing in the documentary “Mitchells do fly in IMC”, then in “Hanover Street” as “Gorgeous George-Ann”, and finally as “Thar She Blows” in “Eye of the Needle” in 1980. Her film career over, she was stored at Blackbushe becoming derelict, until 1982 when she was dismantled and trucked to Wellesbourne Mountford in 1982 and then to Coventry in 1985, still owned by John Jeff Hawke/ Visionair International. In 1985 Aces High bought the aircraft registering her as G-BWGR and moving the hulk to North Weald. She was then sold to David Copley in 1998, moving to Sandtoft in 2001. The Brussels Air Museum Foundation bought her in 2005 and she is currently being restored to static condition. I have used the brilliant Brian Withers/Roy Chaffin/Bluebear B-26J RAF MkII and modified the TruNorthSim USA/Africa texture adding the nose art, national markings and tail markings as used by Colonel John Stokes in San Marcos, TX. There is also engine exhaust flames and smoke and, when the main exit is open, the crew leave. The only snag is that Laden Maiden never carried the cheek guns as on the model and I can't remove them.
