Iain - sort of deja vu all over again. We did this once before several years ago so I quit. I understand and respect your obligation/allegiance so I'll be toddling off - again.

Orbx TE GB south particularly RAF Kenley.

Short story by Frederick Forsythe. In the early fifties, a Vampire pilot, headed home for holiday leave, has a total electrical failure. Being on top with no comms, nav, instruments - nothing. Add a dwindling fuel supply and the plot thickens. Out of the evening sky slides a wwII vintage Mosquito and forms up. The pilot indicates follow me down, eventually resulting in visual conditions. Further guidance to a lighted airport then the Mosquito climbs away. Later conversation with the airport manager revealed that a similar Mosquito had disappeared in 1944 - same time of year. Forsythe was an RAF Vampire pilot himself.

About twenty or so years ago, we bought a pup from a couple in Battle Ground - raised mini Aussies. Best dog we've had over the years.

Washington's magic triangle of Mt Rainier (upper left), Mt St Helens (middle left) and Mt Adams (right).

Should've Googled it - looked old to me 🙂.

Over the Canary Island of La Palma. The ride is a 'lite' recreation of the 1929 Junkers A50 - sports 100 hp opposed or 120 hp round engines.

Trapped a few beaver in the Alaska days but never one on floats 🙂.

My real name is Dave.

Me and Tony from 'Queens'. Number two airport in California, trafficwise, to LAX.

Says it all - brilliant.

A great series Rodger interesting to see aviation activity in Scotland. Seems like since RAF Leuchars is no longer 'RAF', it would be a great arrival for St Andrews.

XP12 - the 'Stallion' is freeware.

I see a lot of 'Adamski' in those - exceptional.

My take on "High Flight", a painting by Keith Ferris - his tribute to Pilot Officer John Gillespie McGee.
