The Carenado C210, I believe ported by Thranda but the liveries are marginal.
Departed Crescent City CA just before sunset.

With your talent that could be transformed into the world's largest bug - certainly get the attention of the folks in Sydney - great shots.

Great camera angle there - like an eagle wondering who/what this new guy was.

Hi, No. 1 is a nice and sharp shot of the aircraft, which model is it?
It's by 'RW Designs' available at .org store.

Mistakes are how we learn - here's a personal classic. First takeoff in my newly acquired Piper Pacer - keep in mind this was a 1950 model and back then Pipers' weren't known for extras. Anyway, power on, steering straight, pressures/temps and rpms great. Climbing out - pretty decent pitch for 80 mph and then the big mag drop - 2500 to idle - no gas. Past experience with Pipers so the fuel selector was to hand instantly. Roared back to life and on we went. Once my heart rate dropped below 100, a more detailed scan of the panel revealed a little 'Dymo' tape placard stating 'No takeoff on the right tank below 1/4 full'. Seemed a bit restrictive 'til I found the right tank was only plumbed to feed gas from the front so, when when the deck angle was up, all the gas ran to the rear which had no fuel line - anything to save a buck. Didn't take long to find a more deluxe tank that had gas lines front and rear but from that day on I never truly trusted the right tank for takeoff.

Careful it might be a Trapp!
She wasn't a Trapp yet, she still had to climb (maybe not every) a mountain.

Another blue plane except there is no sweet nose art on this one.
It was owned by the 'San Francisco Sugar Company' and they were all pretty sweet.

That's the finest display of a new Orbx item I've seen here - a lot of stripes in a little Cessna.

Other than the spelling I'd have sworn you were in Texas - nice looking Dreamliner.
