Hi guys, it has been over a month since I shared any of my edits with you, in part do to problems with my wife’s health. Inasmuch as I believe the consensus prefers action scenes, I venture to say this series will disappoint. The theme focuses on the North American B-25 “Billy Mitchell” bomber. The model used for the series is payware from MAAM. The screenshots are from FS-9 in which the AC were cut from their screenshots than mounted onto photographic backgrounds. The editing was all performed using Adobe’s Photoshop software (CS2). The attempt was to create a photo-real image in an artsy format. There is absolutely no significance to either photos #1 and #3. With photo #2, I attempted to create a crash scene reflecting one of the Doolittle raiders beached in China the morning after their historic raid on Tokyo. I hope you guys can enjoy the series. Next month I promise the focus will be on action shots………….. Ziggy

Thanks BlackAce for your concerns about my wife. She has been in a wheelchair for 25 years now so "getting better" is relative, but thanks she is much better. Her recent hospitalization was to remove her gall bladder. Hmm, I wasn't aware of a freeware model for FSX mate. That's something I'll have to check out. Thanks for the "heads-up"............ Ziggy

Beautiful edits......I would hang the first one on my wall at home 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"
