An Enthusiastic P-40 pilot Doing bad weather intercept training at early dawn. Enjoy

...
Powersliding out of the taxiway Cheesy

...
Climbing through the thick cloud Shocked

...
Finally out of the clouds, have visibility and cruising at 13,000ft.

...
Now Doing target practice with the 12.7 mm guns  Cool.

...
Now turning around to intercept another enemy course.

...
Now turning while descending back to cruising altitude heading to base.
Thanks for looking.

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Great shots!
I was expecting Orville or Wilbur running about on the beach flapping their arms. Grin

"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"

Thanks All.  Smiley
Chuck I use BD sizer but just to be safe i make sure all my pictures are 600 pixels wide and under 100 kb Wink.

Oh and I've fixed the description and made it clearer.. Lips Sealed

Not sure I understand your logic. Your shots look pretty good but it's difficult to see such small images on the average monitor. Why not try the maximum size of 1024 pixel width? If the quality suffers from too much compression post fewer shots at a higher resolution. You're allowed up to 150 Kb per image so why not use it?  Also try a few in daylight so we can see the aircraft without straining our eyes.

Here's a shot I took of the same aircraft some months ago. Not the best example but it'll serve to show what I'm talking about. 1024 pixel width at 96.2 Kb. http://www.simviation.com/phpupload/uploads/1313082740.jpg
