After seeing so many great payware shots on so many different aircraft, I decided to grin and bear it, then purchase a plane. Wasnt sure what I wanted but I knew it had to be a bush type plane. These are the type I love to virtual fly, and having read great reviews, I opted to purchase.

These two are both repaints as the ones that come with the plane initially are a bit too...colorful for my tastes. I like a rugged basic looking bush plane.

The amphibian: (cargo carrier)

Hauling cargo from BFU Manitoba

...

Wheeled metal version (no boxes inside, justr seats ready to be filled by a charter)

...

Great way to get a view of down below

...

Good thing the thermostat inside keeps me warm because its pretty cold outside and why did I ever think about wearing a Hawaiian shirt?

...

So far, the flying characteristics are wonderful, and I think its money well spent. More than likely FS9 is going to be an...expensive virtual hobby, but thats OK. Beats skeet shooting with diamonds Wink

Now I just need to get a virtual payware airstrip to call home and Emma is probably going to be it soon.

those pics r truly amazing - i like the ice tea on the dash panel so to speak!  freeware is great but there is just something about payware aircraft that sets them above!  very very nice looking aircraft as well!

Emma may make a fine choice, especially if you like float flying, running around the lake in boats, glider flying...etc

.......its a great place to do the low and slow relaxing stuff.......... Grin

Absolutely awesome...those are awesome.  I like that one without the floats, one of the nicest planes I have seen in a long.  WOW!

Very nice, I would like to see more of it if you dont mind.

Excel, I DL'ed a couple more wheeled versions that look good (not over done color wise) and a couple more float versions as well. I will post a few screens in the next day or two, time permitting.

Thanks for the comments folks! Smiley
