This flight took me from Biloxi KBIX to Tampa Intl Florida KTPA, and for this I used the A2A P47 Razorback with Accusim cruising along at 230IAS at 1500 feet (36"MP / 2550RPM).


Here are some screenshots I took enroute

Along the coast, near Pensacola NAS FL

over Tyndall AFB...

... intercooler open and no turbo in use yet at this altitude

over Apalachicola Bay

Definitely the place I could feel at home :-)

Getting nearer to the destination dark clouds and rain came along.
Passing Yankeetown with the powerplant in view

Nice report and pictures Stefaan. And now back to Biloxi. BiggrinRofl
Today I took the P47 back to Biloxi for saturday's MP event.
This time cruising at 9.500 ft at around 270/280 IAS with a tad of turbo power.

Another nice sight passing Apalachicola Bay

Hey Stefaan,
