Took this shot as I neared Cuba, after crossing around 90NM of water on my Caribbean Tour.

Then edited it... yeah.

Looks pretty much like my other edits

...LOL...

The lovely Cessna 182 RG (Retractable Gear) always looks strange with its wheels up.....but it certainly makes the Aircraft very "slippery" in the air... A very speedy Aircraft!....

...!

One of my favourite high-wing, single prop, fast Tourers...

An excellent, simple shot of a very desirable Aircraft.. Wink

I've always thought it looks stranger with the gear travelling Tongue

But yeah, at a good 7000 feet, you can probably squeeze out a good 160 knots ground speed, quite excellent!

Thanks!

It has the same strange wheel arrangement as the Cessna 337 with its Twin, in-line, Push-Pull Props....

...!

Always very amusing to watch the wheels retracting or lowering during flight... Grin

Lol. Bloody look alike aircraft. I can just about tell the difference between 152 and 172... but no idea that was a 182! Grin

Nice looking water, but what am I looking at that is edited? What did you do to it? Looks just like a nice sunny normal screen-shot to me.

Bob

ps. After looking a little closer maybe you adjusted the way the lighting plays on the aircraft and water. Looks good.

Didn't do a whole lot to it, I just used Luce and a spotlight effect, plus I evened out some rough edges, and added the exhaust
