I agree, not only are the shots great, but the rest shows time spent as well. Flight plans, weather reports, great screenies, and and lots of good descriptors. What more could you ask? ;)

 

Another super presentation Larry!

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

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

Thanks David. It helps when you are retired. :)

 

No doubt. About six years here. I'm sure I will have upgraded to some new sim by then :rolleyes:
