I just flew my first campaign mission in a Nieuport 11. Very difficult aircraft to fly. No visibiliy, little ammuntion, very pronounced response to rudder. I managed to shoot down an Eindecker, then killed myself trying to land the thing. Definitely not an aircraft for the faint of heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaillyHo 2 Posted May 8, 2011 Great to hear you are back on active duty, Slarti. I've been endeavouring to carry on your legacy in the mighty Strutter but don't believe there are too many others so equipped. I'm sure if you shake the dust off the ol girl, she'll still be able to show you a good time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure if you shake the dust off the ol girl, she'll still be able to show you a good time! After my debacle yesterday with the Nieuport I think I will head back to my old stomping grounds and take back the plane I know and love... at least I can see whats shooting at me...
