Where around in the world do you find this fantastic landscape?

Oh, and nice effect  ;)

Thanks!  The landscape is from here at simviation, by Gottfried Razek.

http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/perlf ... ed+Razek.+

He's done a huge chunk of Nevada, Utah and Colorado, plus a few other places.  The landscape actually looks better than the one in the screeny.  I was going about 1500 KIAS, so the scenery was lagging a bit.  :D

The effect is a modified "firework" effect.

Very interesting shot indeed !
The ground is a bit blurry, but in fact this is not distuburbing at all, kind of "focus" effect :)

Thanks guys!  Too bad Pendercraft no longer seems to be in operation  I would have liked to have seen his completed Spindrift instead of just the FS9 Demo.  But the Pendercraft site seems to be infected by mall-ware, and it's been that way for many months.

Ripping a hole in the time space continuum is the best method of transport.  :D

"Popped In"  In What?  Can't tell what the aircraft is from that angle.  Do you have a side view to post?

It's a repaint of Ron Pendergraft's Spindrift demo, from the 1960's TV series, "Land of the Giants"

Original paint:
