Very nice Doug. Great little aircraft.

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

Awesome set Doug 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"

Nice set o' shots!

When I read "Bird Dog" it reminded me of one of my favorite flicks, "Bat 21".

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

Beautiful shots sir! Lovely plane too

If I'm correct, that's the Cessna L-19 Bird Dog. Right?

...no problem Jake...I appreciate your looking and leaving a comment... Wink

What is disheartening is when you see a whole lot of views and no one takes the time to leave a comment... Undecided

True Doug. Another thing is someone posting shots and getting a lot of very positive comments, but never acknowledging them. In fact, never even returning to the thread. I don't understand that.

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