The Predator (form ABACUS) it´s the perfect aircraft to overfly the remote border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Excellent shots of a very scary, remote controlled, weapon of war!

I wonder what the future holds for them...and us...?

I had confidence in my dentist, I guess you could say I was Confidental

All kidding aside I've found that the only folks who speak english well are...well...the Brits or...is the English? Now i'm confused!

Very entertaining set!!!

I have horrendous problems trying to decipher the language spoken by the Chaps and Chapesses at the Fuel Pumps, during my daily flights around Cal Central Valley...

Mom was from Arkansas and Dad was from Texas but I was born and raised in Calif. Dad would never bestow the honor of calling me a redneck but
he did give me the affable handle "Cailfornia Prune Picker"

First sim: Atari 8 bit text based WWII bomber game...the name escapes me!!!

Excellent!

"California Prune Picker"... ...!

After 15+ years, almost every day, exploring Norcal and Socal in my various Flight Sims, I now know the State of California like the back of my hand, especially Cal Central Valley where the Prune Trees.... ..... and the Almond Trees grow....

..and where the Crystal Meth Factories flourish...around Fresno!..... ... ....!

P.S.... "Prunes"....Excellent for regular and healthy Bowel movement...trust me... ...!

Not to hijack your thread Arkanoid, but I must defend my home!

Our almond trees and farmland are disappearing at an alarming rate but our METH labs do abound!!!

Fozzer, the new FTX NCA scenery is spot on when it comes to VFR I must say. Hope you have it!

My dear old grandpa took many liberties with spelling....never understood the concept of being graded on the matter. I do think redneck speak is too broad a description. For myself I favor Okinese which is not well accepted but practiced in many middle eastern oil fields....thanks to the derrick hands who developed the sand dunes into wealthy sheikdoms.

Feel free to:

1. Correct my english, you´re right. it was CONFIDENTIAL.
2. Defend you almond trees
3. Talk about dad, mom and all your relatives

NO PROBLEM

For those that have to make a point there is an oil field word that I find interesting. Tour is pronounced like the word sour and thus becomes a day tower or night tower. Who said being right is all that important? I am right 97 percent of the time and the other 4 percent doesn't count.

Thanks Arkanoid, but I sure wasn't correcting your english! More like making fun of autofill

Keep up the good work!!!

Skunk...

To make my scenery look (almost) as good as Arkanoid's, I have OrbX FTX scenery mesh, and Ultimate Terrain USA installed, and my airfields populated with Instant Scenery 3, with all my settings maxed, so that California looks as real and accurate as it can get!

As well as every Prune Tree, I also can spot every Crystal Meth Factory hidden in the fields surrounding the City of Fresno.... ...!

I just have to be careful not to collide with the various Wind Farm Towers dotted around!

Family history on my father's side has it that one Uncle Blackburn(first name? Last? I have no idea!), an extremely hirsute individual, to the point he had to shave the backs of his hands from the sleeve line down and his neck to the collar line if he wore a suit for work, owned a small hill covered in prune (plum??) trees outside todays Los Angeles. Quite profitable and steady income for him. Turns out he got tired of prunes and sold the hill and all it's trees off. The people he sold it to, then promptly discovered oil under said hill, and became, if not rich, very comfortably well off
Body hair notwithstanding, Uncle Blackburn became the "black sheep" of the family henceforth!
This was, of course long before the Great Meth-amphetimine craze of the 2000's...

That's actually what we call 'spanglish" a mix of mexican spanish and American English, both dialects of the parent languages (Spain Spanish and British English). People from Spain deny Mexican as hard as the British dennounce American English Sadly, after living in Yuma for 30 years, I understand Spanglish well...Of course, Mom, having grown up down in the Canal Zone, altho she is Native American/French Canadian by birth, when upset would yell at me in Spanglish. When I heard "PATRICIO!!!" I knew the doo-doo was gonna be deep!

Anyhow, Great flights and fair winds to all!

Finally, the main title has been corrected. Apart of idiom, also there are typing errors.

This always fascinates me!.... ...
