Thought I'd take Lynn and Bill Lyons pa22 for a jolly over NZ. I'd forgotten how nice this little bird is.

Nice day for it.

Thanks Kin, I still love FS9 but just haven't had the time to fully enjoy it for the past couple of years. It's been a long time since I last posted here (couple of years ish) and been a long time since we last spoke :o.

[LouisKabel]

Very Nice shots indeed... what scenery is that Bob?

Louis K

[peer01]

Bob, I like your sceneries and I like your birds :cool:

[oldgit]

Thanks Louis and Jan.

Louis, both the sceneries are by Peter Lohr ... Mount Cook and Queenstown (can't remember where I found them though).

Jan, those birds are indeed very nice, the heli bird is one I painted about a year ago which can be found at hovercontrol.com. Its for Owen Hewitt's Bell 206B III and also fits the Dodosim, there is also one painted in red.

[AlienA51]

Wonderful post and shots...congrats!!:D

[oldgit]

Thanks AlienA51, 'ere, you weren't responsible for those circles in pic 6 first post was you? :D.

[peer01]

I know who was responsible for the circles: It must have been Squitters / Steve with one of his usual helo landings :eek::eek:

Jan thats brilliant, and thats on one of Steve's good days:D:D.

[peer01]

Steve posted this pic in one of my threads, we discussed our helo "flying" in FS :D

[Kofi]

Ah Bill's Tri-Pacer...
Definitely another "underrated" aircraft....

[vortiz56]

Cool plane.

[oldgit]

Thanks Kofi, Dan.

I love Lynn and Bills work, just a shame he had to give it all up.

[Squitters]

Hey Bob :cool:

Wonderful post/shots mate, great GA and nice Heli ( :eek: ) flying them does wonders for my street cred as I'm so good at landing them :rolleyes:

PS there is more traffic in your shots than we saw at Southend earlier :D you know we need more time there if we will ever get to see anything move so I got us a bigger flask for the tea :cool:
