Thanks for viewing, Darryl

Great atmospherics...love the haze! It sets off the green down below so realistically.

Very nice clouds and color in your set!

“We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the day and night to visit violence on those who would do us harm”.

I have always loved that Alabeo aircraft, it was the epitome of low wing LSA's, which handle better in ground effect than high wing LSA's.  That's why the Piper Cub edged out the 172 at Iasco's training program in Napa.  The head of that program was the judge of my last grammar school science project in the eighth grade.  I had read a book on hang gliding and the Rogallo wing.  I used toothpicks, Elmer's glue, and Paper to make strutted Rogallo wings, about two inches in circumference.  I would go to the choir loft in my grammar church school and just drop them.  They had the perfect 4-1 glide ratio of the full size Rogallo wing. 

Like Bats out of Hell, they would sail between 50 and 75 feet from the loft, but unlike the Falcon and the Snowman, they did not make it to the altar--thank goodness, the candles there would have lit them on fire.  Those were the days of those of us raised in church schools, but our elders there were not bothered by us playing in Sunday School.

I won first place in that grammar school science fair, back in '75 which automatically entered me in the California State Science fair.  Like Billy Elliott, I had to be grilled by a team of judges, with my father present.  I was sweating bullets.  But out of all the entries in that science fair, I was among a handful of students in each subject of science that got third place.  It is better to show or win rather than place, lol... 

That's why I love those who show off their screenshots in this forum, it is flying when I am not in the mood for simming, just reading and relaxing...
