Whilst bimbling around over Wellington this morning, I spotted a strange "trail" in the sky:

...Er, what have the congregation been putting in the Vicar's collection bags?!?!!?"

So the next up was the RNZHSAF (HS for Highly Secret) super secret chase plane...

"Tower, this guy is leaving me behind as if I were standing still, we're going to need something a little faster here..."

Isn't it amazing, the turn of speed you get out of a wing and a prayer?

Not quite sure who has right of way. Now on the ground the bike has to give way, but up here?..... :lol:

I can imagine some of the R/T:

"Grant us O Lord a transit of the Charlie airspace"
"transit approved"
"Bless you, my son"


Actually, I do know a vicar RW that flies a Piper Arrow....

It's FS9 freeware simply unzipped into FSX - plus one fx file into the effects folder. Default FSX Lear too.

Look for Pastasolex in avsim.

Just wondering if he's got retractable undercarriage - otherwise that bicycle stand at the back might cause some grief on landing! :rolleyes:

Yep, he does have retracts... The pics show "gear up", gear down is for normal road use, i.e. the wings fold away, the wheelstand goes up...
