... with my new telescopes. Here is the Observatory of the Pic du Midi, high up in the French Pyrenees. Thanks to Alro Creation for the observatory, France VFR for the scenery, and Nemeth Bros. for the helicopter.

Cool!

I've always wished FSX portrayed the VLA Socorro and Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, or at least some addon scenery. But I have yet to find any.

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

The Arecibo observatory would definitely be a cool item to fly over! It would be tough to land in there though lol!

Wow, that is awesome

"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"
