Just For Fun... Non Entry

I could never resist. Just for fun, not considered as an entry.
Aircraft: forget
airport: somewhere in B.C. (I think Victoria)
Good luck to everyone in the competition.

That looks amazingly like an X vs 9 theme shot.  ;D ;)

Very nice work Clipper. :)

Do you mean the image from the header art we created a couple of years back for the original X vs. 9 comp at the Studio Shane?

That would be the one. ;)

If so, this is the default Dc-3 at Victoria. :)

Beautiful pic, and all freeware. 8-)

LOL, that's what happens when you reach the age of early senility Shane, you start repeating pretty well everything you do, including posting the same screenshot year after year. You have a great memory...hmmmm, maybe a theme for a new comp in the Studio. I post a screenie that was used in any one of the zillion great comps we've had there, and the gang has to either identify the specific comp it was originally used for or even better retreive the original post with the screenshot.  ;)

Btw, thanks EJW.  :)

Brett, you've obviously never flown with me. This is my famous and typical... overshoot the airport, kill the engines, full flaps, pitch down 80 degrees until i'm 100 feet above the runway (hopefully), pull the stick back with all my might to sort of level off and then test the tires and airframe strength with asphalt crushing runway impact. Hey, works for me...don't have to worry about silly details like ILS, lining up, landing airspeed...I leave that for people that actually know what they're doing.. ;)

P.S. What's a windsock?...............kidding...
