Policing Frankfurt's skyscrapers

[M.I.B.]

On an early morning mission to...have fun circling Frankfurt's skyscrapers for a few minutes with an ancient, magnificent flying machine of the German police, the Kamov Ka-26 Hoodlum.

Preparing to leave this small airfield just outside Frankfurt

Thanks Tony! The simulation is a payware, faithful replica of the original, courtesy of Nemeth Designs. It's not difficult to fly though, you're up into the air in no time, while still maintaining a high degree of realism, it also handles nicely. I'm quite familiar with this craft; years ago, I used to see it crop dusting on a field a few meters away from my house, I immediately fell in love with that machine...the sound, the shape, the small dimensions, the counter-rotating propellers...at that time I didn't know what it was, took me some time till my google searches revealed it to be the Ka-26. I was so happy when I stumbled upon this FS9 simulation. It's only $ 5.90

When I first took it for a spin in FS, I was amazed at how realistic the engine sound is, I turned the volume up and I could almost see it hovering meters away from my house, spraying its thing. Next, I intend to go crop dusting too with this little bugger...
