Just took these 2 shots whilst pulling a few hoops.

Can you guess the aircraft? Textures reflecting on the canopy, I also added a clue in here somewhere.

Can you guess the location? Hint: It is mainly used as a ranch. It is volcanic.

Took a flight from Longreach Oz to Hamilton Isl Oz in the Epic LT. 40nm out with sun behind me, setting fast.

Darkness arrived.

Have Fun!

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

"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"

I agree with Chuck on Ni'ihau, as for the A/C, I'd guess an aerobatic plane (don't know the exact model).
