Hi Stefaan.
These are also very good pictures and the FB-111A is looking really good. I think I have exactly the same. We will see when I post my pictures as well later on.

Hi Christian,
I bumped into it this week, it's indeed the AlphaSim F111 that's been taken over by Virtavia after Alphasim stopped.
Love flying it.. and it has such a nice roar

Well, guys I thought I would use a more powerful version of the FW-190 series, the TA-152C, but for some reason it was hopelessly underpowered compared to a Citation X, or the ERJ that Pär used (later en-route he changed to the default B737) and not to forget Stefaan, who was using the big hammer itself: The F-111!
So I was obviously flying the slowest aircraft of this small group of maniacs
OK, hold short at RWY 16C and in the background you can see Pär holding short at 34R.
The departure went fine, but for some reason I had a heading deviation of nearly 180 degrees, so I was heading into the wrong direction for the beginning of the flight, but after reloading the aircraft everything was fine again, but I lost considerable time (15-20 minutes at the end).
I had to try several altitudes for a good ground speed outcome. First I tried 20000 feet, but climbed to FL380 later on, but decided to get down to FL280 which indeed got the fastest result, but increased fuel burn...
The flight to Annette Island was rather uneventful and so I arrived there after another quick crash (overspeed let to loss of control of the elevator, which was completely ineffective during the pull up). Nevertheless here i am at Annette Island parked next to the FB-111A.
For the second leg you have to visit Part II of these reports

I think not, as he was busy fixing the forum.

Very nice pictures Christian, we prove that FS9 is still here to stay!
This FW-190 is definitely a very nice aircraft... nice lines
