Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat VF-6 USS Enterprise (CV6) February 1, 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".

Specifically designed as a two-seat, side by side touring aircraft, the RV-9 series gave up the aerobatic capabilities and light handling of earlier RV aircraft. However, with engines ranging from 118HP to 160HP, the RV-9 series gives its owners stability and economy, and, with the RV-9A, ease of handling on the ground. Both aircraft included in this package are amateur built, with VH-OVD awarded its Certificate of Airworthiness in November 2012 and G-CERK gaining its C of A in July 2007. Painted on to the Chris Lampard/Dwayne Redding RV-9A model, this package shows two different colour schemes, which are a credit to their respective owners.

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.

FSX/FS2004 Captain Nemo's submarine Nautilus regarding Jules Verne's novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" from 1869–70. And like in the famous movies also my model provides an attacking giant octopus. Of course my vessel can also submerge stepwise by using Flaps. In FSX thirteen camera views provide decks- and external views to watch the submarine and the animated octopus. FSDS3.5 model, 2D-panel, animations and cameras by Erwin Welker.

Douglas DC9-30 Aerorepublica for FSX Acceleration and Prepared P3D Originally designed by Erick Cantu under the SGA label, now available as FSX native models by EAGLE ROTORCRAFT SIMULATIONS. Aerorepublica repainted by Norberto Febles. Virtual cockpit and panel from Tom DC-10. Copy the folders 'SGA DC-9-30 Aerorepublica' into of SimObjects/Airplanes.

Built in 1939, MSN 94067 was initially registered as G-AFNN for Hull Aero Club. Exported to Australia for use by the Royal Australian Air Force, it became VH-ACR in 1940. The RAAF took the aircraft on charge in November 1941 and it became A21-42. Civilianized in 1945, it reverted to being VH-ACR, but after the Certificate of Airworthiness ran out in 1947, it became a museum exhibit. Purchased as a restoration project in June 2003, it became VH-CZB, and had its first post restoration flight on 28th August 2008. It remains an amazing piece of restoration work and a credit to its owners in Euroa, Victoria. Painted onto Frank Elton’s DH.94 Moth Minor model, I have shown VH-CZB in its post restoration colours as A21-42. Enjoy.

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.
