So, after they showed us the hanger, they took us on the flight line.

Excellent Photographs!

It has taken my curiosity, (as always!), so I have taken my Fairchild C123 "Air America" for a tour of the area:
Mountain Home AFB (KMUO).
A valley bordered by mountains, with some interesting water-ways running through it.

(It will make a change from California for a while!).... ;D...!

Paul The Intrepid Explorer... :)...!

P.S...I had a peek at KBOI, but it looked like a Civilian Airport, rather than a Military establishment.. ;)...!

Thanks! Uh, FS9, and FSX did a very bad job of Boise, I'm running Addon that put the base on. Gowen field is the right part of the Field.  If your running FS9, then here's a good file.  I ran it when I used FS9: http://simviation.com/1/download-file?f ... leId=23485

Three very nice threads 8-)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

It's really accurate to Boise itself. I really wish someone could convert it to FSX!

That cannon, fitted in the rear of my Cessna 150, would do wonders for its forward propulsion!... :D...!
