Wanaka early morning Spitfire sortie

[happytraveller]

Time for the Real Air Spitfire to grace the skies above Wanaka. Early morning flight with light winds and the sun just coming up. Finding that moderation is the key with the FSX, as trying to set up several layers of cumulus clouds and high levels of air traffic/ground traffic are just too much for the laptop, but with moderation, some great results. Some lovely early morning light and all that is missing is the wonderful sound of the Merlin........











(noticed some signs of heavy picture compression onscreen, due to photobuckett, nothing to do with FSX)

Smooth landings.

Very nice pictures. Great to see the spitfire flying in FS. Least you dont have to worry about fuel costs.
