sorry, no PC7 footage for the time being (don't get many chances to fly in it ) but happy to hear you enjoyed your flight from ambri....it surely is a lovely aerodrome !!

the ventral fin was indeed an afterthought. there have been a couple of instances where recovery from an upright flat spin was impossible and people died...following those accidents the spin characteristics of the P3 were intensively researched, however without success. it could never be ascertained what circumstances had caused the accidents. to avoid the possibility of this ever reoccurring it was decided that all P3 had to be fitted with a ventral fin. happy flying from then on !!

hehe...the pilot enjoyed it at least as much as the plane ....me was just trying to look cool

the airfield is ambri - LSPM - it's right in the middle of the swiss alps at 3'250ft....our P3 is based there ! here is a link to the airport web page: ambri airport
