Monthly Display - December 2024 - page 1 (of 15) |
Flight!I wanted to present some writing and images based on flying, or some ideas involving flight in general. I remember being inspired by watching various aircraft and birds flying when I was young. I enjoyed building model aircraft plastic kits, and model aircraft for ‘flying’, as a boy and teenager. I also remember that most of my time when I was going through high school, I had wanted to become a pilot. I’d also like to show some of the possibilities of inexpensive flight simulation running on fairly typical consumer-level computers. Note that this display is basically the same display on "Flight!" that I have been presenting within Gallery 4, but this month's display has been fixed from needing to use frames. I have also added another page containing some information about the historic 1919 flight from London to Australia. |
