Just some shots from an exploration flight

If you don't like the weather in Alaska....just wait five minutes Wink

Looks like a nice spot for a cabin.....and maybe a seaplane dock........and......

Thanks 4 looking

"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"

Great shots Chuck. #2 ~~almost~~ looks 3D.

The more I look at, the more it looks like the aircraft is on this side of the monitor. Shocked

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

Thanks guys

Doug, flying with them down is probably harmless............landing on the other hand Grin

If you look again though, you'll see that my water rudders are actually in the "Up" position Wink
