Scenery is Frank Dainese's Val d'Aosta.
Repaint by me.

Thanks for looking.

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

Awesome shots Larry Cool

Great repaint, and thanks for the heads up on the scenery

"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"

L.T. number 2 and 3 remind me of 'you know what scenery' and I love the sense of height in those shots Wink

Thanks for the heads up wonderful scenery and many Kudos on your repaint skills Cool

Thanks Chuck. You're welcome.

Thanks Greg.

Your "you know what scenery" was the cause of this little episode in the first place. Grin

I love that camera angle on the Samson. I just can't watch it for very long. Roll Eyes

Thanks Doug.

I like those best too. It's a lot easier to enjoy the beauty of the scenery from that angle looking at the screenshot than it is while in flight. Grin
