Great shots primavesi. that thread was sitting in front of me all day and I didn't get around to it until now. Such a different perspective and story than many of the shots around here. Love the paras sitting in the a/c waiting for their drop! Great...havn't seen anything like that yet!!

Now that my friends, is one download that is a lot of fun to play around with. Downloaded it this afternoon and been playin' around with it ever since. Only problem is I was taking screenshots, and when I finished realized I hadn't turned on the ScreenShot Manager (Arrrrrrgggg!!!!!) lol Oh Well, I will just have to go back and play some more. Grin

That download is a lot of fun I had no idea that the Swiss flew those as late as the 1970s or that they even had paratroops.

Nice shots by the way.

And to quote fly2e it's really nice to see something different than heavies or warplanes.

Is that scenery from MICE Switzerland 3

I used FSScreen, a small program written by Matthias Holzer that runs in the background and automatically saves every picture arriving in the Windows clipboard to a bitmap file, so it's a lot easier to make multiple screenshots.
