Was messing around with my Blackbird I downloaded off Simviation. Here's some of my highlight shots:

Hope you find them any good. Now, if only I could get some nicer terrain...

Now fly upside down under the golden gate bridge while landing on top of a c-130 Cheesy

It's really hard to do... I know! Grin

Great shots! If that's in fsX, then try hitting 100,000 ft and showing the curvature of the earth from that altitude. If fs9, the tip of Florida or the bootheel of Italy would be equally as impressive!

Will it go vertical as is shown in the shots? I have to wonder...

Mine went vertical off the runway up until about 40,000 ft, where it went into a hammerhead stall and I lost about 10,000 feet before I stabilized out at the proper airspeed.

With alot of nurturing, I momentarily got mine up to 75,000 ft. I am still going to try for the century mark, though.

Here's a How To article I found at FlightSim.com in regards to flying at high altitudes,

I think it's for FS98, but the principles should still be the same.
