The USS Langley CV1, The Navy's first aircraft carrier and the Aeromarine 39B, the first plane to land on a US Navy carrier. Both models by Ronald Dandurand (Woodylepic).

Here's a link to Wiki about the man who piloted this first carrier landing.....quite a life this guy had 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"

Excellent shots as usual! Do you use ENB/SweetFX? If so, what are your settings?

Thanks.......I use ENB Bloom with the Natural settings from the REX site Wink

I have downloaded sweet FX, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
