Finland and the Finns have many admirers in this country for the way you dealt with the Russians during the Winter War.

Yes John flying Fokkers, Moranes and Gladiators….Barbarossa started for us when Russians bombed Finland for a week. Had they not done that there would not have been a reason to wage war against them. Triggerhappy soviets started bombing cities and railroad hubs.
I think there is a great consensus here that BoB was the finest moment for your airforce too. Last finnish squadron leader ( Blenheim skipper ) died last winter, he was my uncle.

C-46 Curtiss Commando is an awesome looking transport.

I just saw the “ISLAND in the SKY” where John Wayne was starring.

They have to make a forced landing into the wilderness.

I have to try this C-46 in FSX.

Is that a modified post production type ?

in my opinion the reason why F-4K is slower than the J have more to do with the engine, pressure recovery at intake rather than total drag , the K/M version have turbo fan engine , thus at high speed , high altitude it will lose alot more thrust than a turbo jet engine .
Similarly , the Mig-25 only have 10 kN of thrust more than F-35 but it is significantly draggier and heavier than f-35 , despite all that it is still 2 time faster than f-35

Mig-25 can only fly very short time at M3…and it is not draggier. It is very streamlined without external loads.

Goals are different. Mig-25 shines like a christmas tree in the radar.

It does fly 2 x speed in MS FSX than a F-35 yes.

That is correct sir.

Jet assisted version empty could be cool.

Back in the day it was also called the SKYTRUCK; http://www.c82packet.com/index.html

That’s not a Flying Boxcar. It’s a C-82 (Packet). A flying Boxcar is a C-119. Although the two are related 🙂

That is correct sir.

How about the ledendary FLYING BOXCAR ?

Looks pretty cool…not bulged like the block-60.

Watch the whole of the video – the pilot asks for emergency crews to attend prior to turning finals. So, he knew he had a problem.

Likelihood would seem to be tyre failure on take off, so he made the unusual landing to keep the weight on the opposite wheel as long as possible. Braking would be odd to say the least in this position, hence the tip forward onto the prop before going on to three points. New wheel and tyre, new prop blades, engine runout check, and fresh underpants.

Incidentally, he lost the tyre on landing – not the wheel, so it was already deflated before the landing.

Good job all round I reckon.

I agree 100 % !
