VFR into IMC...
There are free alternatives to (almost) every program you encounter. You just have to find them.

I flew slightly closer to the Moon yesterday, and saw how thin our atmosphere is:

PS: I played a bit with the brightness/contrast, too dark otherwise, out of SOTM picture then.

How did you manage that shot? Point of view a thousand miles away, and then zoomed in like hell?

Stunning picture anyway!
Don't hesitate to let me know if I'm incorrect or just annoying! As long as you do it gently! :)

Exactly, thanks to Thorsten from having put a new point of view in the Shuttle at 500m, and you for the superb Earthview textures :)

While checking the rain, noticed this - rain accumulation looks really good!

This isn't very good VFR conditions!

Landing beside the powerlines, the wind is too gusty to be safe.

heres a challenge for you. Rhe powerlines are solid and will quite rightly damage or destroy the chopper, but can you land on the top wire?
