Stupid birds

[Powerke]

I was taking some PAX from EBAW to LFMT (Deurne-Montpellier) in my vintage Vultee V1
An old plane that has room for 8 passengers.

This happened:
one engine sustained some damage shortly after take-off due to a bird strike. The oil temperature started to increase gradually,
eventually leading to engine power loss and complete shutdown. There was an exceptional pilot on board and despite the dire situation
he was able to land the aircraft safely. The Captain has also declared an emergency before landing.

Here is the flightlog.

This was damn exiting....maybe i should invest in newer aircraft

Well kudos to Dan for making me age a few years in a few seconds.

Yes, older aircraft have that problem where the engines sound like a goose mating call. Newer ones have been engineered to sound like a deer in rut, so you should no longer have bird strike
problems. Just keep an eye out for runway obstructions.

Well i am a fan of vintage airplanes.
No LCD screens..no advanced autopilots and no comfort.
I am still looking for a good working Dove 104 for FSX.
