Well I've just got my paws on the great new P-38 package by David C. Copley, and thought I'd take Glacier Girl out from Sleap Airfield in the UK (Barrie Larkes first scenery project, and its fantastic, so keep an eye out for more of Barries fantastic work Wink).
So here we go Grin Grin Grin
In position and all set...

Ooops had to pop out and get my beers! Yup the ladder and all is animated beautifully 8)

What a place to put a water tower!!! (Thanks Barrie!) Grin

Hooning around

And Glacier Girl sets off into the sunset. Gorgeous Kiss

Jaffa old bean Sleap airfield in the UK is an ex RAF-WWII base, now owned and maintained by the Shropshire Aero Club, it has its own vintage planes airshow every year and a restaurant. I haven't been there personally, but its rated v.highly.

Remember the rule Jaffa, beers in, glasses off, vision fine. Any other mix will lead to confusion Wink Grin

Just thought I would chime in with my 2 cents.
Great pics Ozzy! You gotta love copley's work. Anyone interested in getting any of his work can find it here:
http://www.kazoku.org/xp-38n/index.htm

That is his site, click on the models button on the left to get all his fine work. There is also a link to the site with glacier girl's story, a great read IMHO. David is currently working on updateing all his planes for FS9. He has even mde one into an AI plane, AI P-38's doesn't geet much better than that! Check it out its well worth it.
