Spitfire over Oregon
Posted: 06 May 2007, 21:44
After seeing Peter and Trev's jaw-dropping pictures HERE I just couldn't resist getting that Portland scenery. Here's a few shots of the flight I made to check it out. Its the Plane Design Spitfire Mk XVI, by the way. 
Taxying out at Portland International airport:
Tucking up the gear, power back a notch, trim for a gentle climb:
Off to inspect the new scenery:
As real as it gets:
In the cruise:
Only came up with half tanks, so its time to head for home:
Turning in on finals after a bit of a tight circuit...
Safely parked up for the night, while her proud owner goes off for a nice cold beer or ten.
Sorry its such a massive thread to download, but I really wanted to preserve the picture quality, and do both the aircraft and the scenery justice.
