Ah, don't get me started on Canberras, Hunters, Lightnings, Vulcans and Buccaneers :smt055 .
A return to the days where we had more than two dozen combat aircraft.

As you can probably tell, the answer is not at this moment.

The only Canberra I know of with a German paint is that by Paul Foster - now I use his Shackleton as AI even thought it wasn't made as AI and I get fairly good frame rates with seven machines flying at Lossie. So perhaps it may be that Canberra witha tweaked file from somewhere?

How about that looking into another forum topic on the F-104, I found the B20 AI model. It s in ai_oberpfaffenhofen-v2.2_fs2004.zip by Klaus Jone, on avsim, don't know how good it is.

You never know if one or more of them maybe 'in development'.
Would have to be at least one example still flying somewhere, anywhere.

A WB-57 is a regular visitor to the UK I believe. At least it has been seen flying in UK skies by spotter friends of mine, so it may just be on transit flight.

Well something I have been playing with. Using it to get my "eye" back in.

Still long long way to go. MAIW one will be in the "Thunder City" SA config (clean), but not much extra work to add some of the F3, F6 and F53 options weapons wise.

Very nice, I can almost smell retro Binbrook and Gutesloh packs.
I know that it will bring tears to Rocket's eyes.

P.S. Don't Thunder City also have a T-Bird? He said with tongue in check hoping not to push it too far :lol: .

I lived on the caravan park at Swinhope for the last 5 years of Binbrook operations and spent most of my days at Crash Gate 3, would love to see a package to bring the old place back to life.
A sad day when the last Lightnings left, but what a departure... a touch and go on the flightline, classic

P.S. will there be the sound to go with them?... dreaming!.

Tony,
In FS9 you only get default AI sounds, so no. In FSX you can add any sound as an AI sound, so yes.

However I think we are getting slightly ahead of ourselves here :lol: .

Hi Steve
I know we only get the default sound in FS9 (shame), but then I was only dreaming of turning up the speakers to have my ribcage rattled once more.
Memories of those days will never leave, a truely remarkable machine.

Tony,
