No, not an Antonov. Grin Thought I would see which bird in my FSX collection is the largest I can safely land at Vashon Mun. The scenery is by ORBX, which most of you know already, and I LOVE it! I can't believe it's freeware! First two or three are at WA69, a few miles south of Vashon.

Attempting a takeoff...  Roll Eyes

On final. This one I had to compress more, but I decided to resize to keep the minimal quality I have in these shots. I just barely cleared the trees at the end of the runway. I guess I did the tree trimming for this season.  Embarrassed

OOOOOOOHHHHH!!!

Made it! Whew, that was close! I didn't want to trim the grass, too!  Cheesy Wink Smiley
 

I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

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

I can't decide between 3 and 4....great shots Cool
 

"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"

Thanks Chuck! Yeah, I seem to lean towards #4 myself. I wasn't trying to be too artistic, but hey, turned out good!  Grin
