OI!

I thought you limeys LIKED the C-17?

I know EYE do.........

Lotsa elbow room!

Might not be the world's most Elegant aircraft, but
certainly looks Rugged and Capable! Mostly because
it IS!

Not unlike the Lancaster in that respect...........

You are a man of taste! :D And in recognition of such, I have just downloaded the Lockheed L049A Constellation for FSX :D :D :D

They might be ugly, but they are an impressive piece of kit.

Wedgemeister:

While enjoying Constellation Aviation, be sure to watch out for
Engine Fires! She wasn't called "World's Greatest Tri-motor
Aircraft" for nothing! I'm guessing crosswind landings might be
a little entertaining as well!
