Thinking of all my brothers fighting in this wildland fire season, stay safe! Here's a series of my CalFire Bronco looking for some action in an Orbx scenery. Enjoy!

Great shots, but as with some of flying truckers shots, the more and more i see of Orbx the more im not convinced. In the distance it looks stunning, and some close up detail is superb, but in other areas, it just looks default......its such a shame!!!

Great shots, Pierre.........I've got to get me that Bronco Shocked

As for the wildfire season......we've had two years in a row with no wildfires here in Okanogan County. This year is lookin' good. Everything is overgrown and DRY.

Now I just need this year's refresher class and my pack test Wink
 

"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"

Wonderful set Pierre...well done... Smiley

I am with "todayshorse" on the ORBX and I will also add that ORBX did not do nearly enough with regards to SPBs (seaplane bases).

I did read somewhere they would be adding more SPBs but not sure where I read that now... Smiley
 

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

More SPBs sounds like an awesome idea! I'd love to get a link of where you read that, if you still have it of course. I'm just curious as to whether they would patch current products with SPB's or if they'd release payware SPBs... Huh
