brett 2,284 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Learned something new today. It does not take long to fly down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, in a Cub, for some river touring. It sure does take a long time to fly back out though. Link to post Share on other sites

GHAO 0 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 First: look how I glide my aircraft through the looming canyons of water, where one touch would spin my aircraft into oblivion. You might need to imagine the looming canyons of water How low can I go? About 8000ft! - AC is a lovely freeware Boeing T45A Goshawk. US Navy. Also just outside Paro, up on the road heading East. About 9000ft ASL. Same T45. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Is that really 9,000 ft ?, looks more like 90 ! Link to post Share on other sites

Noddy 0 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 A bit of Swiss action. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Love that one Noddy, but then I always have a soft spot for a Hunter! Nicely done, especially as the hunter wasn't classed as an all weather fighter.......By the RAF anyway! Link to post Share on other sites

Dizzy 0 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Pic 1; Flying around the islands of Hawaii I decide to head into one of those beautiful canyons. But maybe this wasn't such a good idea since the windscreen is fogged up.... nah it'll be ok. Pic 2; A2A's P-40 all dressed up to look like a RCAF Harvard Pic 3; The end of the canyon is approaching fast at 200kts, and very tight. Link to post Share on other sites
wp2u 0 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Nothing beats an early morning 600kts canyon-ride in a Thud... Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,487 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks for all your entries, I really think Al has nailed it with this one, just what it says in the title. Well done Alan you know the routine by now! please check your PM's Cheers, Joe Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,284 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well done, Alan. Congrats Great screenshot that really pegged the theme. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback, That B-57 is one of Alphasims ex-payware ones, great aircraft to fly, and she really shows why the USAF bought a British aircraft to do the job they wanted. I'll have a look at JFs goodybag again shortly. (only just got the PC back from the repair shop again! (Turned out to be Firefox Browser causing all sorts of problems,ie not letting me log into my Bank FFS !etc) Gone back to Internet Explorer now. Link to post Share on other sites
