One of several FSX Christmas presents from Santa.......

Headed off to give some close air support to a ~~rolling~~ static convoy.....

Thanks for 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"

...."rolling" was a poor choice of wording....they are actually just static objects placed with the FSX object placement tool Wink

When i find a link for the military objects I'll post it

One of my favourite whirlybirds, nice shots Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Thanks Ozzy Cool

This is a great model that has a pretty good VC.....both pilot and gunner station......the only thing lacking is navigation equipment/instrumentation. There's none save for the GPS Sad

Then again.......I don't know what kind of equipment a real Apache carries Undecided

I do not believe it...nope... Undecided

I read this post twice, three times, four times....no no no...just do not believe it... Shocked

One of several gifts you got from Santa Clause...Chuck?

For FSX and from Santa Clause...Chuck?

Egads Chuck....he dropped them gifts off at your home, he was supposed to drop them off at my home....oh my.... will send you my address Chuck...

I even mailed my letter to Santa Clause in early December and told him I was great all year, I even enclosed the old girls note which I did not read of course...

(she was standing right there... Lips Sealed

)

Will send this Lump Of Black Coal he left here for me by mistake. Will forward it to you as soon as I receive those gifts Santa Clause left with you by mistake....

HAPPY NEW YEARS CHUCK... Wink

Oh and great shots...

....Enjoy them Chuck...already looks like you are having fun... Wink

The DeHavilland of Canada DHC-2 Beaver is wonderful.

I wish they who design these Kits/Models would do a little research into Canadian Companies old and present to pick up some great liveries.

I was hoping there would be a FSX Model of the DeHavilland of Canada DHC-3 "Otter" for FSX produced.

The original Otter with the original P&W Radial Engine on wheels, wheel/skis, floats and amphibious floats.

Here is hoping that MS Flight has something to offer... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
