"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"

Wonderful shots of a beautiful bird Chuck. Smiley

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

Chuck, I love that aircraft! It's so beautifully modeled. It looks like you may have had to turn graphics down a little for FPS, though, huh?  Cheesy Grin

I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

Oh thank God, in #5 it looks a bit blurry to your standards, but that hardly is important. Glad to know that, Captain Sim's models are usually quite FPS consuming...  Grin

I think it has something to do with the zoom level......since the aircraft is so large Huh

Great job Chuck, the shots are amazing!
This B52 is fun to fly, although I think it is way overpowered... I have a tough time slowing this beast down for landings  Roll Eyes

Thanx Chuck!  Another 'self gift' for my upcoming B-Day!

Cool shots BTW! Cool

I almost popped on this one when I got the email newsletter advertising the "24 Hour Sale".

After seeing your shots though, it appears that this unit is worth full coin!
