    The Last of the Famous Junkers Ju 52 - or is it?

    Hey, Springford, 1st line of the opening screen in the video also says “Notable airfields, places & aircraft in MSFS”. But I take your point. Although you are the 1st in thousands of views of over 100 videos to express that view, there may well be others, so I am going to add MSFS in each of my...

    The Last of the Famous Junkers Ju 52 - or is it?

    Sorry about that but I assumed it was obvious. Luckily for me most realise that “Frank’s MSFS” is just that. But I have added “in MSFS” in my post above just in case. Cheers.

    Announcing on CTAF 15 miles out - why is this a thing?

    It’s all about increasing Situational Awareness. Everybody taxiing, departing, arriving, in the circuit etc needs to know (have a mental position) where everyone is to see them in time and avoid collisions and near misses. The busier the airport, the more important the radio calls are. I have...

    Big Rant. 100 Hours in and no solo. Need any advice.

    Here in Australia got my PPL at age 60. Went solo after 30 hours. Seemed a long time to me but I think the instructor got it about right. I was very committed to it and wanted to know and practice EVERYTHING. Mistakes were always corrected in a positive, helpful manner - never a rude, hurtful...

    Flying "The Hump" - Burma China India (BCI) WW2 Ops

    Come see how the Allies, mainly the USA, supplied China to fight the invading Japanese in WW2.

At the...
