Default FSX scenery.
Not so default craft.
But the fun was priceless Cool

Typical weather here, one minute it's foggy the next minute it's clear.

#3.....oh my....... Shocked

Very nice

I can't believe that's default scenery......wow, it looks great

"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"

You're probably right. I'm so used to the washed out Winter colors...........can't wait for Spring Cool

All are nice Greg, but first and last are splendid!

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

Much appreciated L.T. Almost didn't throw that last one in, too much water in the foreground until I cut it down. Cool

That last shot, although being a bit small, is really outstanding !!
I love the details, mainly the top of the bridge in the clouds. Very nice touch

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?
