Even more love for the Sus Scrofa SS-4P.

Hi guys,

 

Been a while and I've been very busy with life in general, but I've had opportunities from time to time to slow down some and enjoy life. I also have enjoyed playing a game on some other forums succinctly called "Where the hell am I?" -- I'd like to bring this short series into the fold and see if you can guess where I'm shooting from. :)

No clue where you are, but I do love your little bird!

 

Aww, His Highness has shown favour once more -- thank you! :)

 

Although I thought I gave at least two good clues to my whereabouts in the first two images. So to recap, the images are taken from the north looking almost directly south . . . and it's almost noon in the middle of November at the time those were taken. Does that help? ;)

Meaning that plane is showing some new shape! :pilot:

 

Oh! Yes. :)

 

The repaint is mine; it's something I doodled with a couple of years ago as a 'proof of concept' for the backstory of this plane. I also did some work with the aircraft.cfg, giving it more turboprop-like performance, adding some navigation lighting, and more fuel (I'm convinced 60 gallons in each wing is accurate, but I'm also convinced space for an extra 20-30 gallons per side could be found in the wingroots. Considering how thirsty even PT6's are, I felt it was a worthwhile edit).

Hey, on the other hand is your "ich gwennen na'wanath ah na dhin,

an uich gwennen na ringyrn ambar hen." some Irish?

 

Close. :)

It's based off of both Irish and Welsh if I recall correctly; its right name is Sindarin Elvish and it's a stanza or verse from the Lord of the Rings.

 

The full text:

Uich gwennen na'wanath ah na dhín,

an uich gwennen na ringyrn ambar hen.

Boe naid bain gwannathar;

boe cuil ban firitha.

Boe nær gwannathach.

Translated:

 

You are not bound to loss and silence,

for you are not bound to the circles of this world.

All things must pass away;

all life is doomed to fade.

In sorrow you must go.

 

Do you know where he is Gerard? :confused:

 

I do! :D

 

Do we need more clues?

Uich gwennen na'wanath ah na dhin,

an uich gwennen na ringyrn ambar hen.

Talk about some Blasts From The Past!!  Even though I couldn't open the old shots,

 

I can't help but wonder from time to time, what ever happened to His Peerness? 

 

 

Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.
