My Dragon Rapide flight

Featured Replies

As Mr Ice Cube once (sort of) sang, Today Was A Good Day. Well today was yesterday, and this is what I did yesterday   :lol:  

 

The mornings entertainment; a flight in this over Cambridge, Ely and Newmarket:

A panoramic from my seat at the back (the observant may note the bell with the gopro strapped to his head   :rolleyes:    :lol:  ):

Cloud base was about 2000ft and a bit scattered but we stayed well under that and there was plenty of bits of blue sky. Overall a very comfy flight (decent leg room and a proper arm chair to sit on) if a little noisy, especially being by the door.

 

Throughout the day there were Spitfires in the air most of the time - quite often those lucky enough to have paid the £3k for the back seat of the 2 seater one. So an almost constant sound of Merlin engine. 

 

These were also on display, which I am a big fan of:

Later in the afternoon we were wandering around when we looked down towards the B17 - hang on a sec, those engines appear to be running :o

 

A few minutes later it taxied out with some very happy people waving from the cockpit:

It then proceeded to take off and buzz the airfield at low level quite a number of times with some steep turns at low level. Simply awesome. I'll whisper this but I think I actually prefer it to the Lancaster...

Sorry, but your pictures do not show up, at least not on my screen, also not when clicking on them

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080

Wow, I'm not jealous, who me of course not, I'm not jealous at all!

 

Nice one, glad you enjoyed it.
