A shot from a late evening flight near Penticton, B.C.

It was pretty dark so, I lightened it up a bit.

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 shot Chuck. It's just light enough to make out what the aircraft is and which livery. And the airport looks really good in the shot.

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

That's a very nice shot Chuck.

The only problem I have on my end,
this site's backgrounds alternate from grey to white.
You've posted on grey but as I start to scroll down the
white from the next post washes your shot out! Sad

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

I never noticed it before, but you are right Greg. As long as I keep the bottom of the image near or at the bottom of the monitor, I can see it fine. But if I scroll down a bit, it becomes too dark. Weird.

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