My flight today departs from Moscow Sheremetjewo and brings us to St. Petersburg. The plane is the venerable Tupolev Tu 160 Blackjack, published by AlphaSim for FS2004. This is what Wikipedia has to say about The Tu 160: The Tupolev Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union in the 1970s. It is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built and is next to the experimental XB-70 Valkyrie in overall length. As of 2021, it is the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber in use, and the largest and heaviest vari…

Departing Benbecula airport northbound for Stornoway. My ride is the Vflyte twin Comanche with a 'Paulmort' paint.

Landing my C-4 tonight at KOKM just as a full moon came up, so after a few minutes playing with that scenario this is what I would up with!

Thanks for looking Gents !! . John

A centerline thrust bush plane - the 'DoubleEnder'. A pair of Rotax 130hp - a bit clumsy but very STOL. This is off 'Coldfoot' along the Dalton Highway in AK.

As a big fan of P/O McGhee's great poem and Keith Ferris's painting, here's my take.

For those of you that like Tante Ju (Auntie Ju), here's a few screenies of paints I recently completed for her jk0093 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr jk0054 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr jk0026 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr jk0002 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr jk13024 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr jk13074 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr SE-ADR 01 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr jk0114 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr jk13023 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr

DHL International A9C-DHZ This particular B767-300ER was delivered new to American Airlines on February 14, 2003. She wore two liveries for AAL (N343AN) over the next 17 years; the original metal livery and later the custom One World Livery. She completed her last passenger revenue flight on March 18, 2020. Following her retirement from passenger service, she was stored for a short time at Roswell prior to being purchased for an (ER)BCF conversion. She was flown to Singapore (QPG) where she underwent the BCF conversion, subsequently entering service with DHL International in September 2021. Currently, this airframe is now Bahrain based with primary re…

ORBX Alaska mesh This nicely polished PMDG DC-6B wears the markings of her Northern cousin, the last Canadair C-5 North Star "CHARLIE FIVE". C5 was the only pressurized aircraft in the Canadair fleet of North Stars of the DC-4M/Argonaut/C-54GM/C-4 variants. It was also the last produced, and only C-5 variant of the North Star fitted with PW R-2800 Double Wasp radial engines. To the members of 412 Squadron, the aircraft was known as “Charlie Five”. During much of its fifteen-year career with 412 Squadron, based at RCAF Station Uplands Ontario, this reliable queen of the executive aircraft fleet carried delegates for VIP Transport Services. Most of the political leader…

Beautiful morning flight....

Next in my series of "How cool is PBR?" 😁, here you see another PBR metallic effect, this time on Virgin Australia's text. These are 3 shots in the same position, but 3 different times of day. Look how the appearance of the text changes (and the lady in the front) as the sun changes position. Looks so cool in the sim. While this livery is relatively "easy", with anything metal on the plane, you're painting on 1 albedo (normal) texture map, and a metallic map's 3 of 4 channels. One thing you learn (unless you like duplicating work a lot), is to have the base texture to its final version before working on the PBR effects, or you're doing the work on 4 diff…

LTU-Sud (Lufttransport Süd) was a low cost subsidiary of LTU (originally started as LTS in 1983 with a small fleet of B757 aircraft). The airline was based out of Munich and operated independent of the parent company LTU (with lower cost flight crews and differentiated labour agreements). Following the new ETOPS-180 ruling, LTU-Sud was quick to adopt the B767 into their fleet. At their peak, LTU-Sud operated thirteen B757-200's and six B767-300ER's taking advantage of the cockpit commonality for their flight crews. This particular airframe (D-AMUP) joined the LTU-Sud fleet new from Boeing on March 30, 1992. She flew with LTU-Sud for the next 5 years un…
