Sometimes, Mother Nature....

provides some strange clouds. My initial reason for this flight, was to experiment with the effects of mixture and prop settings on manifold pressure,

prompted by an article Doug (Flying Trucker) provided a link to in my Lake Ella thread. However, one can only spend so much time fiddling with mixture

and prop settings and the real world weather became much more interesting. I had no specific destination in mind, only east. So shortly after leaving

Orcas Island KORS, I became lost in the enjoyment Mother Nature provided, and finally ended up at Twisp Muni 2S0, west of Okanagan.

Everything appears 'Concrete' here. ::)

I have to agree with Greg on that one. #3 is very intriguing Larry.. I haven't seen anything like that before in a shot. The airport is in the direct spot near the clouds where the real beauty shows. Amazing shots Larry :)  Can't believe how great those shots are ;)

Ooh...Awesome...wonderful shots...all of them... ;)

I have to say the last shot reminds me of some bugsmasher locations we have been at.

Sometimes when you drive down one of those old hangar lines you will see anything and everything but an aircraft in the hangar.  Motor homes, boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles, cars, trucks, like I said, just about everything but an aircraft.  That is tied down outside... ;D

Right glad you have an interest in power settings Larry, that opens a whole new avenue when flying on the flight simulator. 
I think you will get a lot more enjoyment out of a simulated flight or you will scare the poop out of yourself... ;D

One of the things I meant to ask you and a few others is do you use FS Water Configurator at all when loading a flight.

I like the Freeware Program and some of the water textures are wonderful especially when flying around Alaska to some of the Float/Seaplane Bases.

Have fun and again thanks for the wonderful shots... ;)
