Now this was real fun...

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

Cool shots Greg.

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

Thank you for the very nice compliment

Yeah, there's a guy in a P-51 outa frame chasing us off his pond, didn't see the "No Trespassing" sign Grin

I think FSX has a hard time deciding between what's solid and what's liquid sometimes when I'm running TP with the Summer settings turned on when on ice.
Cool effect while your driving the boat though.

Thank you very much Doug

Unfortunately right after this shot I hit thin ice and nosed dived into some cold wet stuff Angry

Which begs the question, me being a bush rookie and all, how do you know if it's safe to land on the ice? Huh

Happy flying, Greg Cool

#3....my favorite too 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"
