Greetings! I usually fly GA aircraft, but every once in a while I just have to bust out something loud and fast and run some canyons. For this exercise, I loaded up the A2A P-51 Civilian, Orbx CRM, Opus FSX and set a course from Lewiston (KLWS) to Weiser (S87), Idaho. This route follows the Snake River along the border of Idaho and Washington and is popularly known as Hells Canyon. In a small aircraft you can take-off and land at Weiser. However, in something as fast as the P-51 you are pretty much limited to KLWS. My P-51 mechanic scolded me severely for running the Glamorous Gal into the airport fence last time I tried to land at Weiser... Besides that, I needed to make sure I know the new AVSIM picture posting process! Hells Canyon is actually pretty wide (remember Evel Knievel and his infamous not-jump of the Snake River?), so storming along at 100-200 feet above the river is not unreasonable. It is pretty calm inside the cockpit, about 220-250 knots with mild manifold pressure, a relaxed prop speed, and only (!) 4G maximum load. Apparently I was out-racing a rain squall on my trip south, and ran into the weather on the return leg. Added a couple thousand feet for a relaxed return home. I just love Orbx scenery! All clear. KLWS is right over the top of the rise in the middle of view. Hope you enjoyed the flight! Hmmm. I appeared to have done something wrong, since the Dropbox pictures are not showing. If you right-click on the icon it works, but that is just not right... Maybe using the suggested fsfiles site will work...

Dear Flight Community, I have recently created a couple of repaints that I feel the online community will really love. I have mastered the ability to make aircraft appear metallic. I have also created a Flight camouflage that will completely hide your plane in the game. So, please check them out and tell me what you think. Thanks and enjoy. http://flight.dpxpc.com/downloads.html Sincerely, DXC
