(finally found a use for that smiley)

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

Thanks a ton L.T. Skin came with the plane! I think it matches the scenery to a tee!

I'm glad the pics promoted a new smiley! Wink

Wow....very cool Greg 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"

Thank you Doug. I'm always curious how the pics are going to translate on other screens with all flavors of monitors out there, aspect ratios, LCD's, CRT"S and so forth. Although I'm a geek and build my own computers, (except for the occasional laptop for my girls), I'm not that monitor savy! In my old set up, I had three 19 inch CRT's, old school I know and man they were awkward to set up, but I think the tubes had a much nicer picture than the LCD's and LED's used today. I recently discovered the scaling ability of this bigger LCD monitor as I was flying in 1440x900 for the first four months and 1920x1080p would not fill the screen. Lazy man that I am I never read the instructions! So to make a short story long, I am happily flying in HD with 16:10 aspect ratio and I hope it translates well to other screens! Cheesy
