I like shot number 2 most of all.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

My favorite aircraft is from another generation. Nothing, to my way of thinking, can compare to the elegantly long legged Lockheed Model 49 Constellation & Super Constellation.

P.S. nice pictures though.

Great shots

My fav plane to fly right now is the Aviat Husky taildragger or on floats. Just a fun slow little puddle jumping single engine highwing aircraft

Otherwise its the Dash that you enjoy, however as the cargo model.

I am still looking for a realistic Piper single engine low wing aircraft though.

My life is like the movie Office Space

Hey Ric,
Nice pictures of some nice planes!!
I have most of them myself. In fact, it seems all I do is download aircraft, put them in a folder, then never even get around to flying them. Tongue

How sad is that! ???
I sometimes forget I even have some of the things I have until I stumble over them. I have so many A/C that I keep them all in a separate folder and only insert them into the Sim when I want to fly them. My A/C folder is 8mb big!! Shocked

That Virgin Atlantic A340 I got a while ago and totally forgot I got it! Thanks for the reminder!!

Ric, I assume you are mountain biking allot due to your avatar.
I mountain bike myself. I just got back from Hunter Mt., which is upstate NY. You get on the ski lift, they put your bike on the chair behind you, and you take a ride to the top of the mountain. I go with some buddies every time this year because the fall leaves are in full peak which adds to the experience. It takes about 4 hours to get to the bottom of the mountain where the cold beers are waiting for us! Wink

Silent Ex. I would assume since that Dash is a Recon Aircraft, that it must be some sort of "look out".

CYA!!!

Well I never knew you biked!

I've heard of Hunter Mountain before, supposed to rocky as hell!

Have you ever been up to the Shore or Whistler? I'm seriously considering a holiday there! Grin

Guys, thanks for the comments and inputs!

SilentX, the bulge on the top of the Dash is for a lookout - the aircraft is used for "Iceberg Spotting" to protect the shipping lanes of Alaska.

Mr.Bones - yup, that's some AoA, but hey, with just fumes on board.....

Want proof? http://www.fsinflight.com/VIDEO%20CLIPS/CLIP%20FILES/a319_start1.mpeg Shocked

Cheers again, I hope to have some more shots soon!
