Good afternoon all... Smiley

Not sure I am getting good shots or not...trying to tell a story with each flight but that does not seem to be happening either... Grin

My ADF and VOR Approaches came out better than my pictures I think... Grin

FSX and Windows 7
Aircraft:    FSX Douglas DC3
Location:  Cottage country minutes north of the city
                of Toronto, Ontario, Canada
HDE Clouds
3D Lights
Season:   Winter
Mostly all Freeware right here at the Simviation Download
Site... Smiley

Front Office...notice the red and green cowl flap switches...
Red...there is more Port (red) Wine LEFT

Shots #2 and #3 show some of the cottage country with lots of open lakes and frozen ponds from an 8000ft. rocking chair...
...

Great shots. Wink

If you like flying in the '3 maybe you should download this add-on. It adds passenger, viewmaster, cargo & ski versions to the default DC-3.

Great shots, Doug.........#4 for me Cool Cool Cool
 
"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"

Doug, the shots #2, #4 and the last one are really good ! I especially appreciate the colors in the forth one.
The first VC shot is quite cool as well, but I wonder if the zoom is not a bit too small perhaps...

Wow. You guys really make me like the classics Wink
 
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.
