They have some nice farmland in the valley.

I even found some crop circles. Roll Eyes

Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Very nice!
Good looking scenery

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

In number one, is that a semi-drought crop circle or the aim point for military bombers

I thought I'd drop by for a visit and a brewski. Roll Eyes

The scenery is default, enhanced by GEX, REX and me. All I did was a little contrast and sharpening, except for the crop circles in #2, just below the right wheel. I did that with default filters in Paint Shop Pro.

I have no idea Dave. I've seen those in a lot of places in FSX, and in real photos and Google Earth as well. Need a farmer to explain.

Thanks Chuck and BoeingGuy

Those circles are for a "center pivot irrigator" - which is basically a giant sprinkler on wheels:

Nice!! Don't you just love GEX. Flying in the countryside I hardly ever get over 1500ft.

Thanks Pie, good to know.

I've seen the sprinklers before but never associated them with the terrain seen from the air.
