I've had FTX PNW for a while now, but I had never seen the Centralia Coal Mine and Satsop Nuclear Power Plant (never completed) SE of Olympia until yesterday. I looked at the satellite images on Google Maps and I think Orbx did a fantastic job.

Thanks for looking.

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

Great shots Larry

I have never heard of this place..........I'm off to Google it

Check your e-mail 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"

Thanks Chuck.

There is a good article about the mine on Wikipedia.

I noticed you found the time to download it, fly it, and post some great shots though. Roll Eyes

Sorry Bob. Somehow, my mind took a trip off on it's own and was thinking of the Murray Island thread. Undecided
