Fantastic set, Crossfire 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"

Wonderful set Wade...well done...

Reminds me of a short story...

The fighter jocks were flying in formation with a tanker...

They started to do rolls...etc

Then the lead fighter jock asked the pilots of the tanker if they wished they could do that...

The tanker pilot said that was nothing...watch this...

Both tanker pilots got up...left the cockpit...
One went to the washroom while one got two tea's

The tanker pilots called the fighter jocks and said:
"Bet you wish you could do that.... Grin

"

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Similar to the one about a B-52 and a pair of F-4 Phantoms. After the barrel rolls, loops and snickering, the Bomber calls over to the F-4's and says, "Lets see you do that!"

The F-4 guys didn't notice anything, got all puzzled and asked "Do what?"

Bomber calls back, "We just shut down two engines." Wink

Nice shots! You should be using our new KC-135R model that came out in the last couple of months.

Much higher quality version of this aircraft with realistic flight behavior and all of the latest AI animations including an animated refueling boom.

Send me a message if you can't find it for download. The refueling version can be had in our Seaboard ANG package update.

Thanks Mike!

I do have the new KC-135, which is great by the way. I just haven't added it to the older packages yet. Next weekends job... Cool

Thanks for all the great packages! (I have every one installed Wink
