Hello,
I like this scenery with the Luscombe. Thank for shearing this screenshot with us.
Have a good day

This must bring back a lot of good memories for you Randy. Ain't it great when we at least can recreate some of them in our virtual world?
My '46 8A Luscombe "rag wing" registration number was: N71738. What a great time we had together while I was building up time way back in '56 - '57....:salute:......

Mine was a 8A ragwing also. Continental 65 hp with the old "armstrong" starter. I really hated that I had to sell it. Unfortunately, the last owners totalled it in a ground accident. Injuries were serious but not life threatening as best I can find out.
Attached is another WIP of Greenville. I plan to send it to a friend for "beta" testing. I will then decide, based upon interest in the scenery, whether to upload it or just send it via e-mail to those requesting a copy.
Stay tuned.

Nice screens their Randy.....

Yep, mine had the C65 and the "armstrong" starter, too. If I was alone for the days flight I'd keep the tail wheel tied down while engaging that type of starter and insure the throttle was cracked just a very small bit. She was bare metal with blue trim. She could be unforgiving at slower air speeds, (start of t/o roll and landing roll out) with the high and narrow gear placement if one was not very rudder petal active. N71738 had been ground looped and over on her top side but restored to airworthy status. That's how I bought her for the good price of $1000 back in 1956.

Obie311 explained to me why you can't have a retro airport scenery without a retro looking fuel station....Well....it just don't look right with a modern fuel pump.
