"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'm kinda partial to #2.

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

Wow Chuck your shots amaze me time and again. Thanks for the link to the Kodiak, I definitely will pick this up (on sale)! Just got back from Long Tieng, awesome Vietnam era airfield! I downloaded a C-123 Fairchild but IMO it wasn't good enough for a screenie! Question, is the C-130 in these shots a Captain Sims? Do you like it? Later, Greg Cool

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

You may be too picky after all those amazing tile proxy shots

The C-130 is from Captain Sim, another one that I got a steep discount on Cool

I have no complaints at all about it. Aerosoft also makes one though. You might want to ask around, I haven't flown the Aerosoft one but, I like everything else I have from them......decisions, decisions Wink
