Well Im in the flight and I guess you havent heard much from me or about my idea to do  this outragious flight, accross the USA in a Single Engine prop. I will try and get som screens u here eventualy also if I can get my external view quality worked out. So he did post a map of an proposed flight path. The idea was to get close to some of the most formidable mountains in the US and visit areas such as Yellow Stone. We showed a very very zig-zag way in the map wich I am not 100% sure at the moment is going to happen because figuring we go straight accross the US thats 3500 Miles about give or take :P we go 100 MPH on average in the aircraft, you do the math thats A LOT of flight time. Add the zig zages.... so I am thinking we stay north for the most part... I am guessig we will hit Oregon fairly soon maybe by the end of the week we will see what happens. We have been flying around 7,500 feet and it has been a rough ride for the most part aroind San Francisco. This will be a very very long flight/time before we finish and may never finish, we are flying the whole thing by hand and some careful trim etc so winday days are going to be the worst because it will be very hands on. Hope to get some screens to ya guys around the PNW or so :) and keep ya covered on the slow progress 8)

Gunny,
How do you get that info in the upper left part of your VC? I can't for the life of me, find out how to display that.
Oh and nice shots by the way.

usually press Shift + 3...if that doesnt work start at 1 and work your way up finding which it is...also if they right one doesnt show up...press the same combo again to get it off
