The first bridge is obviously inspired to the works of Escher. ;D

Is it FSX? Never saw anything like that in FS9.

Yeah I've noticed that too, its right near the downtown Brownsville, TX area.  Or at least as much of a downtown as Brownsville has on FS.

Yup, looks like your dreamland Ozzy!  Can you tell me the exact location (latitude and longitude), swordfish, so I can try some stunt flying there? :P  Thanks!

If you don't see the coordinates in the images, try pressing (Shift+Z).        :D   :)

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
