Yep good call Milviz B55 which I just picked up on the 50% off sale, and yeah that is Orbx PNW and W16 Monroe and S43 Harvey, with REX Essentials.

Great shots of the B55 kludger. The Dreamfleet B58 was one of my all time favs for FS9, along with the Aeroworx B200. Too bad neither were ported or developed for FSX. Looking at the RealAir Turbine Duke right now. Very tempting.

Thanks, I'd have to say the RA TurbineDuke is still my favorite twin over the Milviz B55 and Carenado C90, but it is close and I fly all 3 regularly (along with the C310r which is great too), the TDuke just has so much more oomph and reverse thrust so you can drop it into smaller airfields than the other two and I love the acceleration and flexibility of it. Also the TDuke has a slightly better framerate than the B55. The only thing I'd dock the TDuke points on is the external looks, compared to the beautiful B55 and C90, the TDuke just seems all pointy shapes to me, but that is just a personal preference with the real life airplane not the FSX version which is awesome, I'll post a couple of pictures of all 4 of my favorite twins here just to keep us on topic: RealAir TurbineDuke + Orbx PNW and KVBS Skagit + REX 2  Milviz C310R + Orbx PNW and 3W5 Concrete + REX 2  Carenado C90 + Orbx PNW and S43 Harvey + REX 2  All 4 of these are awesome planes, if I had to pick just one it would be the TDuke, but thankfully I don't have to pick and fly all 4 regularly. BTW Carenado is supposed to be working on a B200 according to their "Incoming projects": http://www.carenado.com/CarSite/Portal/index.phpIf they keep Bernt Stolle doing the FDE for it (and they spend a bit more time polishing it than they did their last couple of planes) it should be a great plane destined to have a home in my virtual hangar

New L-188 available at avsim.com I actually rode one of these from Anchorage to Shemya Island on the tip of the Aleutians back in 1973.

Some very nice pics here  I would add some of my own, but I took tens of thousands over the last few years and then spent days whittling them down to my favourites, which turned out to be around 10,000 pics and it would be impossible to decide which ones to post  I'll see if I can find some really really nice ones, though  (disappears into 'pics' folder, never to be seen again....)

Yeah I actually fly Flight from time to time, when I'm on the phone on hold and just need something to waste some time with without needing a flight stick, and while default Flight looks better than default FSX, nowadays FSX+add-ons looks amazing, especially for a VFR flyer like me.
PS. Nice shots everyone! This is one of my favorite threads.

One of the options with the Tacpack is you can change the refueling aircraft.  Great shot Dave! Is that from the freeware KC/MD-10 pack floating around? I didn't know they equipped it with the boom/drouge system
