Come visit the locations in the USA & UK where the famous WW2 American P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft was made & first flew. See how USA North American + UK Rolls Royce + UK Packard = P-51 Mustang. See why the P-51D version was the most famous of all the Mustang's many versions. Fly in a P-51 Mustang in MSFS. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

This is a true story of a Canadian bush pilot's love affair with his de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aircraft. The Beaver is a truly iconic Canadian aircraft, perhaps the best & most famous bush plane ever. The particular Beaver in this story was made in 1957, purchased by different owners in Canada & the USA over the years, & is still going strong. So many Beavers are still going - being restored, repaired & upgraded - so much so that it is referred to as the immortal Beaver. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Nice, thanks. Cheers. -
In making videos on the WW2 battles on Iwo Jima and Okinawa (see signature below) - the last 2 Japanese islands to be taken before the atomic bombs - I was horrified at the human losses (on both sides) and better understood why the bombs happened at that time. Great that atomic bombs have not been used since, but the way the world is I am not very confident that this non-use will continue.

Hope you get somewhere with this as I would love to have more iconic Aussie aircraft in MSFS. Cheers. PS. Visited Temora aviation museum for the Ist time a couple of years ago. Stayed with my wife in one of the pilots cabins on the airport. Wonderful museum and experience.
