"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"

Thanks guys Smiley

@Club.......There are three different sceneries here.
In the first two shots we have the freeware Kauai scenery by Rich Sorochak.
In the third and fourth shots it's Dillingham by Aerosoft.
In the last two the scenery is The Marshall Islands by PacSim.

Nice shots, Chuck.

@Everybody else: That thing wouldn't look so ugly if you were a downed a-vee-a-tor floating in Injun Country waiting for the Cavalry to ride over the hill and fish your butt outta the drink. Am I mixing my metaphors?   Huh Roll Eyes

After I installed this critter I was reminded that she "co-starred" with Peter O'Toole in "Murphy's War".  A very cool flick.

Has to 'teach' himself to fly at one point in the movie.  Very entertaining flight sequences.....especially when he turns it into a bomber of sorts.
