Oregon Sunset Series No.2

[HardCub]

This is part 2 of the Oregon Sunset Series. In this collection the aircraft shown is the classic Beechcraft D18 twin. This beautiful model was designed by Milton Shupe, Scott Thomas and Andre Folkers for FS9. Here we see the airplane landing at Portland-Troutdale Airport (KTTD). The colors of the sunset are very vibrant in these shots... I wish you could've seen the actual flight video footage of the landing... the sunset was spectacular!

I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did while making them ~ I got a little trigger-happy.
