Barnstorming

Look, a barn!

When you're barnstorming, you gotta get gas wherever you can!

I had a couple more shots going in and coming out of the barn, but
somthing happened during the save and they ended up way too small.
Maybe later.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

It is. It's the short flights in select a flight. I just changed aircraft after getting there. It's amazing what you can find if you look around.

Nice screenies and a great screenshot in your signature!

May look into some anti-aliasing to smooth out the edges though. :D

When you're barnstorming, you gotta get gas wherever you can!


But only if your aircraft engine can handle that low of an octane... ;)

Even unleaded petrol (Mogas) has a higher octane rating than most of those old aircraft engines were designed for.

Really? I wasn't aware of that.

Out of curiousity, what level of octane fuel was used for general aviation aircraft back in the first few decades of aviation?

Thanks.
Yeah, I'm having problems with my computer and it is really screwing up Paint Shop Pro. I never know whether I'm even going to be able to use it or not. And I am very rusty on graphics, it's been a while. But I used to be fairly decent with it.

I don't know about the first few decades but in the sixties they used 100 and 110 octane for props. I don't know what the jet fuel was.
