Took this beauty out of the valley early in the morning. I had a 1 hour flight North to Grove Airport in Washington state to keep her in the hanger for some minor maintenance. What a ride!

Climbing up and out toward my destination.

Flying like a big yellow bird!

With the powerful motor thrusting me forward, I let off on the throttle with the runway in site.

After circling the airport to take in the sights, it is time to land this thing.

With the engines shut down, I reflect on the exciting flight while wanting more!!

(Turns key and starts motor.......................... Grin

)

Hope you liked!!!

Hi Dave

Excellent shots. I particulary like the second one Wink

The detail looks good. What resolution are you running at?

Cheers Paul

Hi everybody!
Errr yes, this one is quite...........colorful. Has a really nice effect. When flying at dusk or night, you can see the purple/blue flames of the unburned fuel exit out the exhaust and they fire in sequence! Shocked

I'm running at 1024 X 768.

I know, this one would be pretty easy to spot! I guess this paint scheme would not have been too popular during combat! Tongue

Thanks again!
