Hey Tony,
Yes thats very similar - that one is based in Switzerland I think. Thats the original Russian paint scheme, cream (russian white) and orange. At some point mine got repainted in a similar style but in white and red, hence I always think the orginals look a bit 'grubby' to my eyes.
Here's a nice little HD video, the sound track might not be to everyones taste, but video quality is pretty good. I think the footage is from the 2008 Championships because this was done to advertise the 2009 Championships. But with the volume up or down,
enjoy !
Thanks James - good find. I usually wear a chute when doing formation flying, but there are no instructions on how to use it (the chutes came with the plane) or how to get out of the plane in the first place. Hopefully I'll never need to, but it may be case of learning as I go if I do

The Alphasim is payware, have a look in the Payware folder here for some reviews by those of us that kicked the tyres when it came out.
Cheers
Rich

Hey Tony,
OMG - That's incredible ! It looks perfect to me

Can't wait to give it a spin
I'm not sure we need to spoil a perfect repaint by slapping my boat race over the poor unsuspecting pilot though
Cheers
