Wise choice of camouflage textures for your F-16... according to recent reports the Australian Defense Forces are conducting exercises in the area - which usually means: Shoot at everything above, below and on the ground that moves... unless it's Lady Ga Ga of course.

Bit disappointed that you didn't make a single attempt to land on the "Rock"... I guess recent comments on your inability to keep landing gears intact have crept into your subconscious Ha Ha

The pics are first class Clapping

Thanks for that.

And btw, nearby Alice Springs (YBAS) is going to be subject to the first large scale aircraft graveyard outside of the US.

And luckily I'm only about 1000 miles away. Flights aren't too expensive, so I'll be sure to make a visit! Very Happy

Uluru looks wonderful in your screenshots, and I like Tailhook's idea of landing on it! Laughing

Please post more screenshots if you can sir!

Nobody ever doubted your landing skills... did they? Umm...

Those Osprey pics are crystal clear and I really like the whole approach and touchdown.
Now you wait til I tell Bob (Traches) that I happen to know where his missing 'Herc' ended up Very Happy

This is the last leg of this little tour now gents, so we set off for Perth in a little known aircraft that really has'nt done much in it's brief history.














The B-52 Twisted Evil
She is beeeaaauuutiiifuuulllll








Just managed to lft off before a fiery demise










ORBX is said to be best when flying low and slow, well it looks pretty good to me at 20,000ft and 300kts Very Happy






















So there we bring this little tour to a close, thank you very much for taking the time to view all Very Happy .

Yeah rrright... it's older than most of us are -- just imagine how old those pilots must be Tee Hee

Kudos to you Welshflyer you must be the first aviator who has managed to persuade the "Buff" to quit smoking Shocked

You didn't consider the consternation the Kangaroos must have suffered... they'll be psychologically scarred for life!!!

Pics are top notch as usual - fifth from the top is my absolute favourite. Clapping

Ok Welsh I will never doubt your landing skills again, though I am gonna call shenanigans on that Osprey landing... even I can land an Osprey (actually it is my second favorite aircraft in fsx)

Your trap was pretty good there, I am impressed!

And yeah I see your Buff is on the nicotine patch. Better than me.
