Great shots Greg, but #3 is amazing.

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

Thank you L.T. I highly recommend this scenery. It's the best payware I've seen

Outstanding shots Greg, that scenery is very very tempting 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"

Walter Sutton's was already on my wish list, along with Darrington, Concrete, Stark's Twin Oaks, and Orcas Island. But I can't find the other one at ORBX. And it is not listed in the airport

selection list for Washington, so there is no unimproved default to check out.

Never mind, I found out it's included with WA79. Embarrassed

Thanks Chuck. It sounds as good as it looks too. Plus there's a big lake nearby to park all our water craft!
