Era Aviation style. This finally came off the back burner. Roll Eyes

Thanks for looking.

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

I love that little bird! Been doing a lot of sightseeing in it since I d/l'd it last week.

Some very cool shots ya got there! Cool

Did ya see the episode yesterday? Tweto went after some stranded rafters.

The cool part was that he had to drag his wheels across the water to scrub off enough speed to land on a sandbar. It was an incredible demonstration of skill!!!!!

Jim Tweto made the landing, then made an awesome take-off. IMHO, that's one of the best "reality" shows to come along in a very long time!

Very cool

"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"

Yes, I saw it. Why do you think it came off the back burner? Roll Eyes

I needed to fix a couple of things, but it's uploaded now, just waiting on approval.

I agree, it's a great show.

That's cool. Cool

Last nights episode was awesome with that tough landing/takeoff. That old plane does him well.

The mind is like a parachute...it only works when it's open.
