They are indeed videos, and then I went to GIF Maker and turned them into gifs and inserted them into my description. I had some images as well but they were on imgur and it seems imgur doesn't like SP anymore. :\

One of my fictional companies Cascade Aircraft will be producing both certified and experimental kitplanes and I have a 2-seat bush plane in mind I'd like to make, but I'm currently caught up in "defense contracts" with Rainier Aerospace. :\

Yea it is pretty sad, but he didn't want to land. ATC tried to convince him, but not only did he not want to land cause he'd go to jail for quite some time, but he probably didn't know how to land the Q400 either. From what I heard, the Q400 is quite notorious for being difficult to land. But it actually sounds like he crashed due to fuel starvation, not by deliberately crashing. He mentions one of his engines cutting out.
Didn't one of the devs in the latest minor update say they were going to do a 1.8 update? I believe SP will probably only receive major updates until 2.0 MAX.
I know what movie scene you took as inspiration for the Pitts racing that dirt bike....
Iron Eagle!
Pitts vs Dirt Bike inspired by the scene where Doug races against Knotcher in his Cessna 152 Aerobat and Knotcher on a dirt bike. Never seen a 152 look so badass XD. Kudos to Art Scholl for the awesome stunt flying in the 152, too bad he died while later flying for Top Gun. RIP.
It's a pretty sad world we live in. I don't think memes are totally bad, many of them are pretty hilarious, but this "culture" spawning from memes and vines can get a little toxic.
@Delta74
No it's an unreleased light-bomber I made. It was part of my old fictional nation RP but since that's gone I'm not doing anymore projects or releasing planes that were tied with my old RP.
What about the Cessna 172? The Cessna 172 -you know, that basic lovable and innocent looking trainer? Get this, the 172 holds the record for the longest flight duration (longest time airborne in a single flight) at 64 days. Yep, in 1959 two dudes decided to fly a Cessna 172 for 64 DAYS.

@jamesPLANESii
The Flying Cowboys are epic.
Love the intakes on this one!
Traitorous imgur is not welcome anymore on SP.
Let's launch a V2 at them.
@DankDorito
Nice
@Chancey21
You can see Draco in action in Trent Palmer's vlogs, Mike Patey, or Cory Robin.
Draco is a one-off turbine Wilga, only one of it's kind (There's been other turbine wilgas but Draco is by far the most epic!).

Soooo... basically a Connie?
The offspring of a Saab J-35 Draken and an IAI Kfir?
@DankDorito
Yea I know.
Iran's new fighter, the TNAF-5!
Which means TotallyNotAnF-5
Btw you still working on that space plane you posted about a year ago?
It looks like a flying torpedo...
Neat!

@FENRIRpapapa
Np!
@BaconRoll
Same lol
Sweet freaking plane though.
Oh yes, Project Skeeter will be PERFECT for this!
Congrats, you predicted the future!
The UK's next generation fighter to replace the Eurofighter will be the BAE Systems Tempest...

:'(
@Tacocat16
Well there was an explosion on impact, but the fire wasn't that big, indicating very little fuel.
@BACconcordepilot
I'm guessing he ran out of fuel.
Some were speculating the F-15's shot it down because many heard a loud booms/bangs, but that could have been from the Q400 impacting the island.

@jamesPLANESii
No idea.
@mikoyanster
Thanks for scoring it.
I think it's biggest drawback is the lack of detail overall, and the fact the design is pretty unstable, especially at high altitudes.
@breitling
Oh jeez no I haven't...
I bet it ends up with LOTS of sink holes lol.
The Pe-8 looks like the B-17's commie brother who's made of stalinium and runs on vodka.
@LegnaK
I got the inspiration from the Flip Knight system in the Yukikaze novel.
@LegnaK
I'll tag you when I finish the prototype unlisted.
@Delphinos
Eh, close enough lol.
Now the real question is: Can I eat the whole convoy with this?

I know the feels...

Yay :D thx

Tu-4 in a nutshell: The B-29's commie brother who runs on pure vodka and is made of stalinium.

Now THAT is a hot rod!

@Texasfam04
Yea I already saw, it's pretty epic!
@Z3RO
Wow really? What did you think of it?
@Z3RO
Np, this thing is epic, and pretty badass looking!
