Should I post more similar to this one?

bunnyhunter12 · 06-15-2007, 12:23 AM

Wow, and Yes you should. How much ya wanna bet the piolt is graying out at this point and is about half a second away from deciding to straighten out, firewall and go for altitude?

Marlin T · 06-15-2007, 01:07 AM

I’m still trying to figure out Power Point, talk about a learning curve, but they will get better.

Edit: I wish I could give the credit to whomever took these photos, but there doesn’t seem to be any names on the .PPS file to give credit to.

By the way I change the first picture, to see the change delete the Temp Internet Files folder.

bunnyhunter12 · 06-15-2007, 01:40 AM

Nice Tomcat, looks like it could be from VF-84 "Jolly Rogers" off the Kennedy. Could easily be wrong though.

Neat pix!!!

Marlin T:

Someone here posted a picture of a P-51 Mustang in flight with the wings tip pointed at the ground. They offered a high resolution version via email. I got it, printed it, framed it, and hung it on the wall close to my computer. Neat picture! These look to be of a similar nature and I would like to know where you got them. I'd like to see what is offered in Higher Resolution to hang on the wall too.

So, where did you get them? Are there more? Are there high Resloution versions available?

I think there is nothing more beautiful both aesthetically and mechanically than an airplane. Even motorcycles, guns, or classic cameras, my life hobbies, don't hold a candle to airplanes!

Mr. Bennett that was me that sent you the pic of the P-51, it was taken from my flight simulator. I’m glad to hear that you have it hanging on your wall; I think that is quite the compliment. Thank you.

As far as these pictures go, they were sent via e-mail in the form of a power point presentation. So the answer to a better quality, bigger, higher resolution pic would have to be no. I have made the original size just a little bigger, so there really isn’t a loss in quality. There are about 40 or so pics in the PPS format and I’ll do the work to change them all into JPEGs and post them here if everyone would like.
Or if you want the slideshow (3.2 MB) I’ll e-mail to you, just PM me your address. The slideshow is of Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard.

Marlin T:

What other pictures will your flight simulator provide? I really liked the quality of the file of the P-51 you gave me. Can you do that for other flight simulator planes as well?

While the modern pictures are neat, the Mustang one is phenomenal! I want more! (if possible)

Here's one of favorites

bunnyhunter12 · 06-15-2007, 05:53 PM

The Ruskies practice "low level"

bunnyhunter12 · 06-15-2007, 07:02 PM

And upon closer inspection, the Tomcat is from VF-101 "Grim Reapers", I think.

Marlin T · 06-15-2007, 08:02 PM

The second is the correct one for sure. All except the fact that the nose # is one off.

I still have a bunch more pics, you what em?

bunnyhunter12 · 06-15-2007, 08:16 PM

Keep 'em coming. And yeah should have done a bit more research to verify the Squadron before I guessed

.

bunnyhunter12 · 06-15-2007, 10:30 PM

But the USN can do low level too! Another "Reaper" ship but in muted paint scheme.

PaulHD883 · 06-15-2007, 10:55 PM

very cool pics, thanks for posting. I saved them on my computer and emailed them to my brother, he is a plane FREAK!!! he'll love them.

obxned · 06-16-2007, 01:31 PM

At least a few dollars of my tax money is well spent!

bunnyhunter12 · 06-16-2007, 01:56 PM

More of our tax dollars at work. That's right my tax dollars helped too and Canada is getting some F-35 Lightning IIs as well. Notice the flags of the contributing countries on the starboard intake.

Marlin T · 06-17-2007, 04:41 AM

I hope you enjoy and comments and or suggestions are welcome!
I didn’t get around to working on the .pps file today, rather I was doing this.
