Oh, well.  Another one someone else beat me to . . . ::)

This happened with Santos-Dumont Demoiselle, too, and I never finished my version.  So I guess the H-1 is gonna sit in my shop, unfinished until I turn it over to the SimV graveyard for someone to perhaps cannibalize at some later date! ;)

And I think that's the same one that got me wired on making an FS2002 version.  The original didn't have reflective textures or a VC, so I was determined to get that in mine.

Ach, weel.  No matter, now . . . ;D

I was at the movies about a week ago and I saw a preview for a movie coming out about Howard Hughes.
Too bad it is staring Leonardo Di Caprio as Howard Hughes. ::)  Whats he going to do stand on the front of the Spruce Goose and yell out," I am the king of the world!" ;D

Oh ya, great shots.! ;D

Hey!  Maybe they'll show Leo playing as Hughes after he went really nuts!

Saving his urine in bottles, watching Ice Station Zebra over and over again, constipation keeping him on the john for hours, never cutting his nails and hair...

Which of us wouldn't want to see that? ;D ;D

???

Come to think of it, I'll pass too...:P :P
