The first shot is really cool :)

And yes, this is definitely one of the greatest FS9 addons.
It doesn't work so well in FSX if I remember well, but I'm sure it will be converted soon.

Gosh, Paul!  I'm astounded that you've never flown Uncle Milton's Aero Commanders before . . . great planes, all of them.  I especially recommend the 500 series.  Great VC's, and some great flight dynamics.

It's one of the aircraft that inspired me to start designing, and a direct inspiration for me to create the Angel 44.

Check out this great YouTube video of the designer doing acrobatics in the aircraft!

I've been a fan of Aero Commanders for a long time and Milton's work as well. I did a couple of repaints just for my own use.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Whoops!  I knew it was Hoover, but I thought at some point that my prof at school told me he was one of the designers.  Oh, well.

I'll see what Milton says. I didn't think they were good enough that anybody else would want them. Thanks. And also thanks for making me think of something I had not thought of. I'm considering a re-install of FS9 in a week or so and I will need to make sure I keep my repaints. I probably would have lost them it you had not posted this.

Edit: I looked in the documentation for Milton's email and found that permission for repaint is already granted. Just got through uploading them.
