Unexpected Guest

An unusual visitor from Sproat Lake, BC.  Lots of room for landing or takeoff, but it may require some assistance to turn around!

     Hmmm, . . . I'll be needin' one of those there water bombers, mister.  ;)

     I have had a "Sproat Lake water bomber" scenery for years now, but the Martin Mars water bombers that come with it are for FS9 and don't work with FSX at all.  Great first shot, by the way.  And welcome back.  (How can I get my virtual hands on one of those Martin Mars water bombers?)  ;D

edit - I found it.  Virtavia makes it.  The Flightsim store has it for $26.38 USD.  I'll have to ponder that purchase now.

I got mine on sale a while back.  I get a lot of my sim stuff through PC Aviator.  They have it for $24.95 but if you order on a Tuesday, they usually have 10% off everything, even if it's already on sale.

Purty, though, ain't she.  I've even got a pair of 1/144 scale resin kits of her, one for each variant, on the 'to do' list.  Even in that scale, though, she has a 16'' wingspan.  She's a big'un.
