Super screens doug, number one is awesome!

When I was a wee lad, we used to line up our D-8 Caterpillars to plow fields with little white paper bags or a spot on the sierra mountains 60 klicks away!
Not the same huh? :)

Hi Greg... :)

Flying has a lot in common with Farming.

When flying VFR (visual flight rules) we pick a spot on the horizon and steer or hold a straight course towards it.
It might be a water tower, bridge or just a hill top.

Just like you would do when splitting a field to plough it.

Nice shots Doug. :)

Don't think paper bags would work too well on water. ::)

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

Good morning Larry... :)

Thanks for the comments... ;)

As for the white paper bags:
-person could get awful wet pacing off the distance between them... ;D
-I bet Greg put them over a fence post... ;)
