I'm featuring the scenery and local in these shots and not the craft (Seahawk by Aerosoft).

HDE clouds, no bloom. This is one of those locations that has decent sat coverage for tileproxy. The first shot is an overhead shot after lifting off from KOMK and the rest are shots headed Northwest on my quest to find Coleman Peak. Cool

Awesome Greg Cool

If you were zoomed out more in the first shot, you would have got my house in it....see that road that runs to the airport and then turns 90 degrees and heads away from it, I live a few miles to the South on that road Cool

I have some payware photo-real scenery of the same area, I cant tell any significant difference

I'll post some shots Wink

"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 thought you might get a kick outa these shots. I think most photoreal scenery is based, at least partly, on sat coverage. While the coverage around KOMK is decent, there is a strip that includes Coleman Peak that offers a little more detail. Happy flying, Greg! Cool

Wonderful shots Greg.

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

Really cool! #3 and 4 are my favorites. I really like the way the clouds are hugging the ground...
