Thanks for looking.

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

Wonderful shots Larry...well done... Wink

What I have noticed many times is how much larger World War One, World War Two and the Bi-Planes between the two world wars are compared to our Cessna 172s and 185s.

They really can't be called bugsmashers unless compared to something like the Boeing 747... Grin

Again wonderful shots...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thanks Doug.

You are correct, of course. But, there's that word again, Roll Eyes

when you fly as low as I did on this hop, you can't help but smash a few bugs. Wink

I do have one question, when you took off from KMOK did your GPS run AMOK! Grin

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

Great shots Larry Cool

I like the inverted one 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.

@ Greg: Thank you too.

Ordinarily, I would correct the error, but then the uninitiated would never understand your post. Grin

I'm just glad amok is spelled that way...I call that a freebee. Grin

Thanks for the geography lesson too! Wink

All jokes aside, it's amazing how much my geography knowledge has improved since I started flying FS.
