Slowly getting through more Wanaka pictures and the DC3 sure is a great looker, mind you if Graham didnt have his sunnys on I am sure you would be able to tell what colour his eyes are!!!

Gawd the DC-3's wings are beautiful.. Only ones that are better are those on the G650! Really awesome shots as usual Gavin! Only negative thing I can see is that the DC-3 has a landing light out which kinda 'ruins the balance'. Otherwise- Phwoar! biggrin.gif

Yes, I've always thought the DC3 was one of the most beautiful aircraft flying today, and these shots show it very well -- I love the way it seems to be kind of suspended by a pendulum when it turns, and this feeling is reproduced very well in the sim.

Some aircraft are good in parts, but I love all the bits here -- all the curves, the bare metal, even the big ungainly tires.
