Out, up, over, around, back, down & in - Aspen, Colorado in Microsoft Flight Simulator...































































































Richard & I both have served in the United States Air Force ...

He as a pilot & officer
I as a sergeant in physiological support.





Hope you enjoy the screenshots ...

Nice shots Dwayne! If may I ask, what was the reason why you stopped flying? When did you leave the Air Force?

Once I've known a man who was also a pilot, became an alcoholic, when he lost his job, and was stopped flying. When he got drunk, he jokingly quoted Da Vinci by saying, "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward." I've made the conclusion then, flying must be very addictive.

Thanks Edina. Never have been a pilot except for Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane & several other
quality flight sims. The last time flying at all was in a Bell Ranger helicopter I'd hired out nearly 20 years
ago, so that my 10 year old son (at the time) & I could overfly the Jackson Hole, Wyoming area. It takes
bucks to fly ... especially to pilot one's own plane. Am usually quite content to drive my antique pickup
& simulate flying on my computer.

A parasail is what this artist has his sights on obtaining, the most realistic opportunity this middle-aged man
can concieve to bring the reality of flight home personally. We have a lot of bluffs around my parts which would
be ideal for parasailing in my opinion. Hope is alive to fly one day.

Am pleased you enjoyed the shots for Richard, my friend. Am readying to fly online with several friends & they
fly fighters. My favorite planes are usualy GA (general aviation)types, such as my highly realistic Piper Navajo.
From last weekend's flight in Montana near Yellowstone National Park :














My favorite plane for several months now. I fly them all pretty much, from ultralights to jumbo jets.


Take good care ...

Edit- forgot to answer your other question: was honorably discharged from active USAF duty in 1976.[/i][/color]
