Repainted and tweaked Pendercraft "Spindrift" (demo) from the '60's TV series "Land of the Giants"

I calls it, "The Black Pearl III", I does, Arrrr!  :)

Here's the web site:

http://pendercrafts.com/index3.htm

All Pendercraft add-on's are for FS9, but some, like the Jupiter II, the Flying Sub from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and the Lost in Space "Chariot", work in FSX with a little tweakage here and there.

The Flying Sub and the Jupiter II are also here on the Simviation Downloads pages.

I don't know if the Spindrift will ever come out of "Demo", since Ron Pendergraft's wife died last December, and it seems like he took it pretty hard (and who wouldn't?). :(

Nice shot !
I do the same kind of flights from time to time, just for fun and to enjoy the high-altitude view.
This screenshot would have been better with a more interesting weather theme, though ;)

The clouds got better when I ran into the front a hundred miles or so further west. :)

Oh, and it's fast. :)

How fast? Faster than Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich delivery?
