Links to websites that I have found useful

Not all directly X-plane related, but hey


Harrier Air - This guy is trying to build a radio controlled XB-70, and has just bought a copy of the flight manual for it. Between us, we should be able to improve my XB-70 model quite a bit.


NASA Scientific and Technical Information - A search engine for NASA documents (seems quite a few are out of print, especially for the XB-70).


X-Plane.com - self explanatory really


X-Plane.org - A repository for X-Plane resources - including my airplanes


Aircraft Plans - A site in Russia which has lots of downloadable plans of aircraft - really useful for modelling


Woodspring Wings model aircraft club - Model aircraft enthusiasts who organise a real air display each year. Only 5 minutes from my house (which also means it's in the approach pattern to Bristol Airport, so some urgent phone calls were needed at various points in the display. The thought of an airliner taking off just as a Hawk does a zoom climb to 10000ft is a bit scary.


Dilbert - The home page for Dilbert, who would appear to work in my office...


The Register - A useful news site for tech geeks like me - also the home of the BOFH (if you don't know the BOFH, you're in for a shock.)


Zeno's Warbird Videos - An amazing collection of instruction videos for WWII aircraft - as used by the US Army Air Force for pilot training. Requires RealPlayer, so windows only (as far as I know).


Airwar.ru - Another site with lots of sets of drawings
