Rifleman  Ozzy - - I am working on a new one for you.

Passing under the Coronado Bridge in Diego. Immediately looping and passing under it a second time at the bottom fo the loop.

Have accomplished it numerous times in vintage craft.

Have tried it twice at speed and failed so far. Clipping the bridge deck on second pass each time. So close, though!

I am using a Voodoo in full power dive so first pass under is at about 1200 knots.

Those cranes that you see in the pics that Rifleman provided can also be found at the Port of Miami (Miami, Florida, USA).

It's not that hard to find.

Fly East-South-East from Miami International Airport on runway 9R (active runway). Where you see the skyscrapers (Downtown Miami), fly past the American Airline Arena. It's on the Northern end of the area.

Immediatly, you will see a long, regular bridge that connects the area to a small Key.

From here, you can easily see the Port of Miami. The port is identified by its series of cranes (there they are). After that, have fun. Grin Wink

Miami is well known through its many titles. It also has so many airports and airstrips that if you check your GPS, you will see a cluter.

Anyways, nice pics Rifleman. Wink
