Cool shot Dave.

It looks rather windy, based on the trees to the left. And I could be wrong (often am), but I think the aircraft is a little too bright for the background. BTW, what is an 'improved image upload device'? Undecided

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

Some of my 'Saturday sarcasm'. Part of the new image upload is great, the other not so much. Using a ten digit number in the URL doesn't seem as user friendly as the name you originally assigned the shot. Just me from the twilight zone. New subject. Try this one - new in the onsite downloads. All that stuff hanging off both leading and trailing edges makes the wing really want to fly. Won't hardly stall but, when it finally does, your windshield view changes rapidly. Lands like it was on rails.

I was unaware the 'new' system does that. I'm not too crazy about it either.

I used to have something called a Savannah in FS9, but I can't seem to find it now. And my memory is unsure if it was the same aircraft. My memory is unsure of a lot of things. Undecided

My memory really took a walk. The reason I could not find the Savannah in FS9 is that it is in FSX. I've had it a while, but forgot about it.
