Re: Mach Loop 18/12/2017 Sun and Jets

Thanks chaps!

His right hand is actually on the control column , the white you can see above the HUD is his knee pad so not quite "hands free" .I presume it's at some preset throttle setting , maybe someone on here may enlighten us?

Thanks again,
Cheers Gareth

Shawbury Griffins

A Morning visit to Shawbury to capture the first of the new Helo's was a bit of a farce with them not playing ball and coming nowhere near , however a three ship departure of the based Griffins was a delight! 1 https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2847/33705939201_0e51192f90_o.jpg 2 https://c1.staticflickr...
