Osprey

First time I saw Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey on this photo:



Then I watched a lot of videos and read a lot of articles, like:




There are also RC models of V-22. Small ones from china are basically helicopters with two coaxial rotors (something like Chinook models) which are always flying forward. 

Big scale models do also exist. One of them is produced by ROTORMAST. It is very expansive, and it also flies as real one - very fast in plane mode :) 

One day I'll do scale model of Osprey V-22 in 1:72 scale, to accompany my Mi-8, Mi-24 and Ka-29 models.

Luchtmachtdagen 2010

Ministerie van DefensieLuchtmachtdagen
http://www.defensie.nl/luchtmachtdagen/
De Luchtmachtdagen 2011 vonden plaats op 16 en 17 september op Vliegbasis Leeuwarden. Onder de slogan 'De toekomst hangt in de lucht' bood de Koninklijke Luchtmacht onder meer veel vliegshows en de mogelijkheid om op de grond diverse vliegtuigen te bezichtigen aan.

My report from the event:



De volgende Luchtmachtdagen vinden plaats op 14 en 15 juni 2013 op Vliegbasis Volkel. Dat jaar viert Defensie ook 100 jaar militaire luchtvaart.

Should add it to my calendar :)

DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark

This is very detailed Ka-50 simulator. Because Ka-50 is single-seat helicopter, this software was developed to teach real pilots to fly it!

Some people are crazy about this simulator and building helicopter cockpits at home:


and using head tracking devices, such as http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/, with it:


In any case, it is great software, and I would love to learn how to fly Ka-50!
