Caught a whopper.......

Postby CHUCK79 » Mon Jan 02, 2012 10:35 pm

.....I was testing out the Bristol Beaufighter (which is awesome) from Classic British Flight Sim in a thunderstorm over the Atlantic and caught this huge bolt of lightning.

That's either a perfectly timed photo or a very lucky shot!

Well done!

Is the Bristol freeware? If it is the quality looks amazing.

Strangely Bristol now make super cars rather than aircraft

Cool! 8-)
I can't count the number of times I tried to catch lightning in a shot and missed it or had to pause and edit out the text.
Even if it was lucky it's still a great shot. :)

Great Shot Chuck! 8-).
You can make any plane look great ;D
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
