(Notice that most of my screen shots are taken with my aircraft at ground level...
...always the safest place for me, and my aircraft)...;)...!

You never cease to surprise us with your creative scenery Paul. Nice to see something else than a bird in the skies or a dodgy landing ;D

My philosophy is...

Then why does it have floats?

Travis Air Force Base is close to the Sacramento River...and Fly Fishing..
...the reason for the Floats...

F.... 8-)...!

Sacramento: The Capital City of the State of California...
...and the Palace of Governor "Ah'll be back!" Arnie!...;)...!

A Piper on floats. Neat, if not practical 8-)

Sure beats that Piper Aztec I downloaded last night. It came with one that had floats :-(

you can tell there are aircraft out there, but YOU have no idea what they are (mostly KC-10s, but some C-17's, C-5's, B-52's, and some frontier airliner not real good with airliners though id say A330 area maybe)

Hmmm, I believe I have seen several KC-10s from Travis here in Sydney, Australia. Once when Cheney came, and another when two C-37s came. Three more KC-10s that I didn't identify. Travis AFB, your C-5s and B-52s are welcome here anytime.*  ;D

Very nice shots Fozzer, always enjoy seeing something apart from your regular "cruising at FL380, if you look closely, you can see *insert landmark here*.

*Need, to see, more, military, planes. :D
