I'd ask for feedback, but I'm not even going to pretend I can edit. Cheesy

Wow!!!

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

This is probably a stupid question, but is this some kind of add-on for FSX?

Greg...you need to give out:

-Gravol or some other Motion sickness pill when you post
those shots.....OR....
-Perhaps two fingers of Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch
Whisky would do the trick....

Okay I will take the Laphroaig instead of the Gravol.... Grin

What Larry said...WOW... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thank you gentlemen, I think your way too kind...especially when I feel I'm talentless compared to you vets of SimV. Embarrassed

For a moment there Doug I thought I lost you to the
dark side of the wussies until you redeemed yourself with one of the
best known cure for motion sickness Grin

Very cool Greg Cool

Is that rotor wash under the ship's helipad????? 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"

I remember the Fitzgerald shots...........they were not of this caliber though Cool

There's so much to look at, my eyes go straight to the switch back stairs....and up to the top of them..... then I notice everything else

And the angle Shocked
