Thank you indeed, Weeowen. Someone mentioned the Flight Simulator on here the other day. I had just downloaded the latest Google Earth software on my computer but couldn't find it.

Your link spurs me to try again. :thumbsup:

It took me a bit of trying with the alt/ctrl lark but I got it working in the end.Kept crashing though.lol

When you're on there next, try to avoid Russian Airspace.....they're a bit narked with us for our Tornado's turning their bombers back from British Airspace at the moment. :)

Many thanks for the tips anyway......I'll try to get on it from the desktop (XP) this weekend. I'm on a Vista OS at the moment.

I don't think that they are that upset. They just slow down and hang around until the Tornadoes either fall out of the sky or need to go home. :)

I've got a flight track that I might upload sometime. Is there a site where kmz tracks can be uploaded to?

Remember the EE Lightning? The most dramatic, noisiest and utterly incredible fighter ever to fly?

Yep! 20 mile radius circle and it needed re-fuelling! :hihi:

But what a looker! :love:

Brilliant find! Had to do a bit of experimenting with key-sequences, but Ctrl-A seemed to do the trick for me - after I'd switched back to GE. Don't think I'll apply for my pilot's licence just yet though :hihi:

Oh yes! I was once at Finningley in the 80's (I won't discuss the reasons) and one came and beat up the runway at 20' then went vertical on reheat... and he was gone.

I've seen F104 starfighters, F5 Tigers, SR71's, Eurofighters, Phantoms, Vulcans, MIG29's and many more high performance aircraft playing in private, but nothing and I mean NOTHING comes close to a Lightning vertical on reheat!

Lightning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Electric_Lightning)

What i pity we cant build stuff like this these days, climb rate of 50000ft/min and maximum ceiling of 87000 ft. Now thats some piece of good old British engineering
