Wonderful morning for flying.

That reminds me, I need to pick up some 2x4s.

Did a little spotting before leaving the airport.

Stopped to pick up some wobbly pops before heading to the motel.

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.....that scenery is quite realistic:

I have purchased libations there once or twice 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"

Very nice shots Larry. The last two shots really add a lot of realism. Sweet job

Now that is just cool. Thanks Chuck.

I just looked closer and compared the real vs sim. They almost got it perfect. There is a very minor difference in the posters on the left window, but they even got the lights above the door right. Amazing. Shocked

Thanks Deano.

So far, it looks like I've solved all my problems, except for not being able to turn shadows on without the driver crashing. I don't like it, but I can live with it.
