that I 'borrowed' his plane, put floats on it, and brought it to SE Alaska, to explore Tongass Fjords. Roll Eyes

Thanks for looking.

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

#2, Larry..... Shocked

"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"

Yeah, I kinda like that one too. If it were not for compression on the aircraft, it would be beautiful. Alaska scenery is hard to beat, even in FS. Thanks Chuck.

Thanks Greg.

The guys on my shift used to call me LT, but because of my rank, not my initials. Grin

Thanks.

I was a bit surprised to find lumber rafts in the scenery. Neat touch. Maybe they've been watching Ax Men on the History Channel. Roll Eyes

I think I'm going to paint the lower struts and dorsal red, but leave the floats.
