I know it's somewhere, I just don't remember where.

Thanks for looking.

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

Awesome as always Patchz!

"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"

Nice, I love the sun.
But the plane looks a little dark to me.

It's those FS9 planes loaded into FSX. They never want to look good, no matter what you do. Roll Eyes

That doesn't ruin the shots though. Very nice. Cool

I beg to differ and I'm sure Patchz does too. Both he and I have posted some superb shots of this same Westland Wyvern. It's like with humans - some days you're just more photogenic than others

THIS IS NOT A PANAM CLIPPER

I didn't mean all planes, but my point is that there are some aircraft that when imported into FSX from FS9 don't like the "newness." Grin

Thanks for the comments guys.

As to the aircraft being dark, I don't remember it it was because of the weather or a result of editing. I took these a while back and forgot about them. I do remember I had been flying in a pretty bad storm and there were still some dark clouds above, which could account for the darkness. I just liked the sky in the background.
In any event, Dave is correct, the Wyvern has been captured by several where it is not at all dark.
