DCS Nornandy 1944 - Recon at the Carpiquet Airfield
A short mission in the DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX, just to kick the tires.

A custom-made scenario, with a single aircraft and a handful of AAA defenses in the Carpiquet Airfield. A far cry from any real life situation, no claims made for a history lesson.
Heads up: a 50% sale for many aircraft is going on now at DCS. This is where I grabbed my Spitfire today.

Taking off from Beny-sur-Mer. The Spitfire is such a stunning aircraft, the digital version is still a work in progress but equally easy to fall in love with.

After I turned around towards the airfield, I used its layout as a visual aid to get oriented. Carpiquet is ~7 miles from the end of the runway, bearing 182 degrees.
