VERSION
v.1

The unusual but ill-fated Blinder was to be the replacement for the subsonic Tu-16 Badger. Capable of Mach 1.5, the plane was typical of the times, with a slender, wasp-waisted fuselage designed around the area rule, and steeply swept-back wings. The aircraft was hastily designed, and had very high takeoff and landing speeds, poor low-speed handling, and a bad cockpit layout with limited visibility. It did have very good transonic performance for the time, and its two 36,000-lb thrust engines provided respectable speed for a bomber of that era. In the event, the plane just did not live up to expectations and had a short service life, being replaced by the much more modern and effective Tu-22M Backfire. No examples of the Blinder remain flyable today, according to all credible reports. Still and all, the plane has its place in history and no collection of USSR bombers is complete without it.

Customer Reviews
Z DESIGN STUDIOS - MERRIL C. MEIGS FIELD (KCGX) PROFESSIONAL MSFS
Mark
Lots of great details, even the curbs by the terminal are rendered. This is a delightful addition to the "Dr.Z" Chicago Landmarks. They work great together as long as you change the Meigs mod's name from "aa_..." to "zz_..." (just changing the first 2 letters). I hope that SimMarket can remove my previous 3 star review because those issues were caused by the buggy MSFS airport included as part of the 40th Anniversary update. As long as you remove the default airport in the Content Manager, this delightful version of Meigs will look great.

Great details, superb FPS! Im gonna buy everything this guy sells. The airport is beautiful and I am enjoying my flights in and out of SFO so much more now.
SHORTFINAL DESIGN - SFD GLOBAL X-PLANE 11
Yngve
For those who could not be bothered with, or have the time to do Ortho4XP, this one is for you. It is utterly worth the money. I say its worth even more! The difference between no SFD Global and SFD Global is significant and you will be flying around with a glee looking out the window, compared to default Xplane autogen. Gotta love SFD!
