Megascenery X Hawaii, Aerosoft Dillingham X, Nemeth Bros Huey, and REX2. It was an awesome flight! I really wanted to jump out of the Huey and skydive all the way down to the water along Dillingham, that would have been my best jump ever... Oh well, here are the screenies!  Grin

Lovely set-up REX, Dillingham and Megascenery. I fly around this area plenty especially flying in from Princeville/Molokai.

Awesome shots!

This is definitely a fun "playground"! That flight was a blast, and I'll be sure to give it a go with many different aircraft from now on!

Ahahaha thanks, but let's be honest though, this isn't default FSX either, the sim got a little "help" from payware developers on this serie of shots  Wink

FSX, we've come a long way baby! Skunk Works is an official alias for Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP), formerly called Lockheed Advanced Development Projects. Skunk Works is responsible for a number of famous aircraft designs, including the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117 Nighthawk, and the F-22 Raptor. Its largest current project is the F-35 Lightning II

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

AWESOME!!!!! Cool Shocked Cool

Last I saw (what is now known as) Dillingham was June 1981 while I was getting a (lucky!) ride-along with a near-crazy 1st Lt. in an O-2 outta Wheeler.

I say near-crazy cause we were in a four ship flight and had just buzzed a whale pod. 

During the touch-n-go stuff, at Dillingham, weeds from the runway cracks flew in the windows! Cheesy

Then we were off to toss some willy-p 2.75s for the fast movers to loose some 500-pounders at on the range.

Thanx for the trip down Memory Lane! Smiley

Ahahah nice! Wish i'd been on that flight! And you're welcome, for the memories. Does the scenery look accurate, compared to your personal experience?

Looks like someone weedeated the runway. Grin

Other than that, very spectacular!  Looks to be just off your port nose in #1 is the pass that the Japs flew through on their way to Pearl on 7 Dec 41.  The peak closest overlooks Schofield Barracks and Wheeler AFB, then it's a sweeping right turn toward BattleShip Row. 

Now if there was a way to recreate a certain jeep excursion from the Tracking Station Road on the Ka'ena Trail where I had to ride on the hood and spot from time to time due to erosion, then it'd be complete.......we won't mention the almost drowning incident while attempting to get a museum quality coral specimen that looked a lot shallower than it was not too far from the point....or the getting, shall we say "squirted", while being a flippin' idiot squattin' over a blowhole for a photo opp....I have no idea what happened to the coral, or the aftermath of the "dummy's" delicate posterior exposure......

That's the story, and I'm stickin' to it! Wink

Thanx for the posting! I have gotta get that package!!!
