What more could you ask - a T33, full of fuel and all of North America's VFR.

Very nice shots Dave...very nice... Wink

The "T Bird" was a fun aircraft to fly, first jet for me but never flew the single seater.

Do you know what a "Lubber Line" is Dave? (A fixed line on a ship's compass indicating its heading)

Well we had one on the T Bird on the nose, it was like a piece of yarn and watching that you did not have to look at your instruments to see if you were skidding, you could keep your eyes outside.

We finally had so many we used them as hacks, go from base to base for lunch/shopping (I mean training... Grin

).

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thanks Doug. This is a recent FSX freeware, right here but, so far, I haven't made the panel show up. Smooth flyer though
