At first I thought the "80,000" was a typo. Then I saw the aircraft. Nice set! I especially like the cockpit shot with the sun on the horizon.

I love these virtual cockpit shots at very high altitude !!

A small tip: to make a virtual cockpit shot look even better, you can move the eyepoint out of the centered position, with the usual commands CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, CTRL+SHIFT+BACKSPACE, CTRL+ENTER, etc... When using a nice-looking virtual cockpit, it gets easy to find an original angle of view.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Very cool.....you've convinced me to take my Blackbird for a hop 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"
