In this flight we take a look at the new Rochester Airport (EGTO) from Burning Blue Design and then head down to their Headcorn, Lashenden (EGKH) in the Aeroplane Heaven Royal Navy DHC-1 Chipmunk.
Big thanks to Burning Blue Design for giving me the opportunity to fly their Rochester Airport in the sim.

BBD is one of the best developer in MSFS. Worth the money. This is the way airports should be done. This is a living airport, like in real life.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Absolutely! I completely agree with you. Their quality is right up there.

[@OldManGaming69]

Nice to see the old Trolley Acc for ground power. Great vid, just bought the Chipmunk for myself and my 75 year old dad so looking forward to having a go. This was the first aircraft I flew in in 1982 when i was in the ATC prior to having a successfull 27 year career in the RAF as a sooty. Great vid mate.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Many thanks and congrats on a long service there! Let me know what you think of the Chippie! I know on the initial release a few real world pilots commented on unusual RPM - Speed settings but since the update perhaps it is a bit more realistic. I'd love to have flown it, wonderful little aeroplane.

[@OldManGaming69]

@@Dreamsofwings I was 13 at the time and remember having the parachute being strapped on and then walking out the aircraft that was already waiting. Trying to get your leg up onto the wing when you've got a parachute strapped on thats making you bend over due to it being tighly fitted was an effort. I must laugh at my bailing brief which was something along the lines of "The pilot will initiate the bail command. he will pull back the canopy and you shoudl asist, then he will wait for you to bail before exiting the aircraft himself" The it was "To exit, climb out onto the wing, if you can, then jump between the wing and the tailplane". I will let you know how i get on but wil try flying from RAF Woodvale which is where I did the real thing from :).

[@Dreamsofwings]

@@OldManGaming69 🤣 I remember a similar briefing when I flew in the Spit 'oh so I just climb out and kind of jump in that direction do I?' thinking to myself 'christ, I hope it doesn't come to that!' Enjoy your trip and look forward to hearing what you think!

[@benholmes1608]

As a former member of the Tiger Club during its Headcorn days, I'm blown away by this! The Headcorn scenery is absolutely spot on - down to the placards, fuel pumps and marker boards. I even recognize the trees! Swift half in the "Wings" bar, anyone? :-)

[@Dreamsofwings]

@@benholmes1608 wonderful!!!

Hi, great video. I have the chippy in the sim and I am really enjoying it. I first flew the Chipmunk in 1974 as my first flight as a pilot in the RAF. The flight was from RAF Rufforth near York. I went on to have 27 years of flying in the RAF flying some iconic aircraft such as the Jet Provost, Gnat, Hunter and Harrier. Loved every minute. Through many good aircraft and airfields, MSFS is giving me the opportunity to relive past memories 😎🇬🇧

[@Dreamsofwings]

Many thanks! That is great to hear that you, 'the real thing', are flying the Chipmunk and enjoying it! Congrats on a fantastic flying career too! You must have been a winged god to end up in the single seat Harrier!

[@Peter-55]

@@Dreamsofwings I feel really privileged to have flown these aircraft. I was on the Harrier for 20 years, of which I spent almost half of that time teaching. I was head QFI for much of this time. My surname was different back then which is why some who may read this may not recognise me 😉 Maybe we will see a good Harrier simulation in MSFS one day 🤔 Thanks again for your content.

[@Dreamsofwings]

@@Peter-55 The harrier is a fascinating aircraft. I was an RAF brat but we never got anywhere near them. The pinnacle of my childhood was a posting to Lossie and watching the Buccs, Jags and venerable old Shacks! The harrier was such a capable aircraft wasn't it. I've just finished reading Paul Tremelling's book. Have you had a look at the DCS AV-8B? Probably closest there is at the moment and on my list of 'things to learn' one day 🤣

[@Peter-55]

@@Dreamsofwings Hi, I don’t have DCS so I haven’t looked at it. Hopefully a good simulation can yet come to MSFS 🤔

[@onboardsimulations8304]

Headcorn is now on my wishlist. I already have the stunning Rochester airport. I enjoyed the video

[@Dreamsofwings]

Thanks! Yes Headcorn is great, lots of character.

[@rutchiemctavish]

Another enjoyable video - keep the 'waffling' going haha - keeps the videos entertaining.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Thank you sir!

[@caiazzo123]

Hey that’s me with the Dobermanns Mav 👍🏼 You really have a knack for creating great videos. ❤️ i’m admin for Lincs Dobermann Rescue and I’m really honored that burning blue designs feature me in there Products. I also have my own LDR livery on the OTTER Kitted out especially for delivery of the beasts.

[@Dreamsofwings]

I always look out for you in the scenery and thanks very much sir! I am so glad you’ve mentioned what you do! I had no idea, I will make sure I mention it the next time you appear in a video! 😉

[@caiazzo123]

@@Dreamsofwings I should send you my livery. I have my own small discord channel which is dedicated to guys like you. I would love you to join it. You would immediately recognize the other names in the group.

[@Dreamsofwings]

@@caiazzo123 ah unfortunately I don't have that aeroplane otherwise that would be rather cool! Sure, I'd love to join, thanks. 👍

[@caiazzo123]

Tried to send you an email I’m not sure it’s gone. Do you have an email.

[@andrewadkins5567]

The flight was so real and relaxing. After a day that didn't go so well a nice slow relaxing flight in the chipmunk. With beautiful scenery, that looks so real. It's a nice way to relax and get my sense of humor back. I would enjoy a nice slow stress free flight in the simulator. Thank you for another great video.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Many thanks and sorry to hear you've had a bad one Andrew, glad this put you back on the centerline! I always find the sim a great way of winding down after work, especially a nice dawn/dusk flight in the mountains somewhere.

[@yeeehawgrandmaw908]

The level of detail is quite remarkable!

[@Dreamsofwings]

Yeah very immersive, really adds to the feeling of being part of a living world.

[@alanharris2799]

That is a really nice add-on for EGTO, I had my kitfox and luscombe silvaire both based at Rochester and regularly would hop down to Headcorn for a cup of tea and slice of cake in the excellent cafe at Headcorn. I’d love this to be available on marketplace for Xbox (still don’t have a PC that can run the sim) as I’d buy it instantly! It’s certainly very true to life as an airport add-on

[@Dreamsofwings]

ah fantastic! Must be great to do that trip for real! Lovely aircraft too. Have you flown the Parallel 42 Kitfox2 in the sim? Funnily enough I used that to do a recce flight out of EGTO after I had installed it.

[@alanharris2799]

@@Dreamsofwings yes, as soon as the kitfox appeared in the sim marketplace it entered my hangar! It’s very close to the real thing, although the right roll is more excessive than my old plane was or at least as I remember it. The Fox 2 is the closest to my old plane, and the one I fly the most. It’s been a while since I flew out of Rochester and didn’t know 16/34 had been decommissioned, the approach to 34 over the supermarket was always fun, and there was nearly always a massive amount of sink on the 16 approach. With its position in the hill taking off on 20, you sometimes encounter sink just after take off going over the go-kart track area. Did my first solos and most of my training at EGTO :)

[@Dreamsofwings]

@@alanharris2799 ah fantastic! That is interesting to know regarding the Fox 2 and great to get some first hand experience of what it is like to fly there IRL! Many thanks for taking the time to let us know!

[@gordonwilkinson675]

Another most enjoyable trip with a very genial host. The two airfields featured are, as you say, absolutely incredible. Having just forked out for a Tobii eye tracker (bloody expensive) I'll have to see what's left in the bank before I splash out on still more FS2020 stuff. Vey tempted. Thank you , Rob. I'll come again.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Thanks so much Gordon, very kind of you! Ah those eye tracker systems look good! I am waiting for my TrackIR to finally conk out and then I'll be looking for alternatives!

[@mkivhvd2478]

Nice one Rob! Now off to buy yet another airport...hahaha!

[@Dreamsofwings]

🤣 many thanks Rob!

[@harleyblue999]

Thumbs up almost like Cricket on the Radio while at work years back,many I add years that is,most enjoyable.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Thank you very much sir! I am glad you enjoyed it and I'll have to check out some old Brian Johnson recordings to make sure I am on point!

[@lewisbloom]

Donna Kebab! You require a Kebab, I heard its what won the war old chap and its a Friday as I watch this for perfect Friday night dinner. Chippie looks like a blast to wonder around the UK in!

[@Dreamsofwings]

ah now you got me thinking of kebab! Nice idea mate! 🥰

[@lewisbloom]

@@Dreamsofwings mission accomplished 😎 now do yourself right and get some Donna in you

[@Maxley..]

Capt. Wings. Another glorious vid. Please may I cheekily suggest a warbird flight? Innsbruck LOWI to Bolzano LIPB VFR Nap of the Earth. Not difficult/dangerous, but astonishingly pretty. Under 30 mins and it's the most fun I've had in the sim yet. (I did it in a CubCrafter). Thank you.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Thank you kindly! Yes that is a cracking route, done it many times and even made a P-51D video some time ago in P3D. The scenery in MSFS is much better though kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6q8daiCg5Wambs

[@Maxley..]

@@Dreamsofwings Just watched it Beautifully flown, and there's something about looking up at passing terrain that is glorious.

[@Dreamsofwings]

@@Maxley.. Ah many thanks, yes I agree, wonderful to fly in that kind of terrain.

[@yeeehawgrandmaw908]

YOU FORGOT TO GET YOUR GEAR UP! Just kidding. First aircraft I flew was the one of these with the ATC. Also the Sedbergh T21 glider.

Damn I always forget something! 😉🤣
