I must admit, you really do a stunning job with your posts! :pilot: You were in my neck of the woods for this flight. Willow Run is also the locaton of the Yankee Air Museum and Thunder Over Michigan airshow. I'm just curious who you dumped all that fire retardent on or what neighborhood! :D

Lovely set of screenshots Aharon, and a beautiful Electra.

 

Best wishes.
