Continental...

...Heritage.  I saw this plane at the airshow last year, and she is a beauty.  Thought Id take her out to get a nice screenshot for a desktop background.

Early in the morning, time to take off

Take off!

Old over New (KIAH:Continentals Home)

Halfway to Ellington Field

This is where I saw her.  Sitting on the ramp like this, although it was a different time of day, but still, brings back memories.


Hope you enjoyed!  First to guess which one is my new wallpaper wins!

There is a green nav light above your engine...that's what I am talking about

Edit: I guessed your wallpaper too

And thats what im talking about Ashar.  That green dot is part of the lens flare.

Yes, MAAM, she looks nice in that classic livery. Cool shots.
Still using wing flaps on takeoff, I see... :-/  ;)

And although cowl flaps wide open is OK on takeoff, you can actually set them for "trail", which leaves them loose so the airflow thru the cowl actually dictates how much they open... very efficient.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah....This was just a real quick flight, not trying to be all proper.

Thanks for the comments guys!
