1st DCS P51 fright

Featured Replies

The title and tags say it all....it was frightful, and I avoided contact with the plane's chief mechanic all day after I climbed out of the cockpit!  (Picture the character "Red" the mechanic in the TV series Black Sheep Squadron) ..."You broke my airplane college boy!" LOL. 

Yes the right landing gear was partially collapsed as well.   

I logged 5 landings on this flight...all within a few seconds of each other.:blink:

Guess flying the P51 is a little different than flying a 747.

A beautiful image, Steve! Vibrant colors, an excellent illustration of the damage system of an excellent machine.

Yeah those DCS warbirds are a real handful... Torque! Torque! Rudder! Rudder! 

Really like the sunlight effect in that picture.

The P-51 is a hard plane to master.  Great shot!

Fantastic Shot!! At least you landed right side up. :biggrin:

😆 brilliant! Just picture the mechanic walking to the plane, the look on his face!

Yeah gets even harder when you get parts of your plane blown off like i recently did when a P-51D blew the tip of my wing off in the FW-190.   I did land safely but the gear and most of the plane was finished.  lol.   At least i got 2 B-17s
