Post your warbird shots

Curtis Jenny over Springfield, Massachusetts. It’s scenes like this that made me fall in love with aviation.

One of my grandmothers worked as a riveter, building the horizontal tail assemblies for Skyraiders in the 1950s, while working for a Douglas sub-contractor in Reno, Nevada, and she was always very proud to be associated with the type. As a result, the Skyraider was always a prominent fixture in my family, growing up. In the last couple days I finally found time to acquire and test out the Miltech Skyraider, and here are some screenshots I’ve collected so-far, flying from La Ferte Alais, France. I’ve had a few successful flights, so-far, and one that wasn’t so successful (hence the forced-landing shot).

First warbird flight back in 2021. Ah, memories… Soaring over Naha…

2020, 2 flights around Normandie. Droide did the best work…

Flying the Military Aviation Museum’s Skyraider from the Museum’s location in Virginia Beach, VA (with a brief cameo by the Museum’s Corsair).

‘Little Rebel’ operating around its beautiful home of Plzeň, Czech Republic. As long as one owns MSFS 2024, everything you see here is free.

2020, alas, I could not sneak a nurse on board…
