Thanks Aharon, That banner is just too dark for me on my system.

Adamski and Jankees, Both of you are correct about OZX. That now defunct website introduced me to WONDERFUL repaints of Jankees!!! Without OXZ website, I would not have known about his great repaints. Regards, Aharon

I sometimes wonder how you even know what you've produced! Haha, I don't! I forget about a quarter of them...

JK and Simon , thanks for looking :)

Certainly a nice looking aircraft. I would have thought that it would cruise faster than 150 kts. Sleek, carbon and with retractable gear, I would have thought that it would be around the 170 mark.

I just remembered that one is an AD-4W...I think. When the Brits retired the type, the radars were fitted to the early version of the Shackleton.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!! Many thanks!

Jankees, The funny thing is that 10 hours later after my posted question, my tv was showing history of participation of that SAME plane and SAME livery in the Vietnam war and how that plane managed to shoot down MIG-17s in dogfights!! Regards, Aharon

Thanks very much JK.

:hesaid: Superb .

Nothing like getting up close and personal with The Moose. "If you get any closer, please, introduce yourself"....Read that on a bumper sticker

The Able Dog... The Flying Dumptruck...Sandy. The Skyraider holds the "distinction"of dropping a toilet "bomb" and a kitchen sink on the Bad Guys. It excelled in its role as Combat SAR cover, the NVA didn't much like Skyraiders.

Waterborne Truk :lol:

The colour scheme, typical from 1941 onwards instead of green and brown, did indeed exist.

Charl: Thanks Charl! Yes — that’s exactly how it feels: like a Caravan with a bit more muscle. And that’s a perfect match for flying in Nepal. I’ll check out the link you shared. Splitpin: Thanks a lot! The terrain looks intimidating, but the 408 actually gives you a good sense of reserve in the climbs. Glad it made your must-have list! jankees: Thanks! It really does feel like the Twotter’s little brother — just a bit more modern and calmer to handle. I had a great time with it. Aharon: Thank you! This hop ended the classic way: into Kathmandu, runway 02. A beautiful approach, especially in...
