Very cool, Greg Cool

I like the perspective from the passenger compartment (that's not really how auto-pilot is supposed to work Wink

) in the next to last, and I like everything about the last one 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"

Nice shots Greg.

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

Are you making fun of my vertically challenged pilot in the right seat? Grin

Thanks for looking and compliments Cool
