May 26, 20206 yr Ortho4XP, ZL16 This time, the distance I fly is longer and I don’t use the Transall, but the Virtavia Boeing B-47E Stratojet instead. The B-47 was the first swept-wing multi-engine bomber in service with the USAF and truly a quantum leap in aviation history. Today it is considered the forerunner of every jet aircraft in service. Its swept-wing design was actually the result of a visit of a Boeing aero-engineer to Germany, where he was shown some secret wind-tunnel data on swept-wing jet airplanes. Already as early as 1943, Boeing engineers had envisaged a jet bomber, but were unable to overcome issues with the straight wings of the day. After having passed the majestic Glacier Bay mountains, I turn east, pass by Gustavus and head towards our destination Juneau Thanks for viewing Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
May 26, 20206 yr I especially like the 4th from last shot with the sunlight reflecting off the water and the polished wings! 😎 Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.

It was the second Revell model (after the B 727) that I built as a kid. I also had it in my sim collection right up to P3D v3 19 hours ago, evaamo said: Hi ! what imagery sources did you use for Alaska?
