This is a shot I was thinking of using for the competition but it was a bit dull. I leveled it and it came alive so I had to put it up here!  Smiley

Thanks for looking  Wink

You really love that Exact goose, Don't you Cheesy Cheesy Grin Cool shot though
 

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.

That's a different paint job to the one I normally fly.

The Goose I normally fly is N121GL which actually exists under that tail number and paint scheme.
In fact here she is http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/127880.html

She's currently owned by some lucky person in Mooresville, North Carolina. She's 67 years old and still airworthy!

Hopefully one day I will get to fly in her or if I'm very lucky I'll own her. Sadly a good Goose will set you back between $350,000 and £1,000,000 these days. Worth every penny though.

And I must add Ozx did an incredible job with this Goose. The repaint is spot on.

Hmm, different strokes for different folks as my favorite livery is the USN bare medal. Either way it is a fun AC to fly and I think MS out-did themselves with this addition to their hangar.......... Ziggy
