I got some shots of the Bells and the Kamov, but the Skymaster stayed up high, circling at about 4,000 ft all the time. I heard him first, before I saw him!

I suggest a seach at Airliners.net under Spain will bring something up, it is based in Granada Airport and is from memory (having seen it on the pan there) basically white.
 
Thanks to all you guys for signing up to the new site this past weekend. We drew a random name from people who signed up and we're happy to announce that user Cag40Navy has won a copy of the Air Tractor AT802F when it releases Decemember 15th. Congrats and keep an eye out for more copies to be given out as prizes in the near future.

We've also started adding some entries into the Devloper Diaries I think you guys will dig.
 
Quoted by Vance, Project Director for Flight Sim Nation Developer Group

"I just gotta take a second here and share my excitement about the support we've been recieving this past week from people who work with the Air Tractor in real life. I've been flooded with emails from real life AT pilots, aerial fire fighting companies who want to use our AT as part of their pilot training programs and people who work with the AT on many levels.

Today I recieved a nice note from the guys over at Trotter Controls who makes the FRDS (Fire Retardant Dispersal System) for the Air Tractor AT802F. They offered to help us in anyway they can and stuff like that just makes my day. I'm pretty sure that we're the first developer for flight sim to get so much support from the actual manufacturer and it's associated companies.

Each day passes and we get more support from companies who make the Air Tractor and it's components we and learn more about the Air Tractor and it's systems and this all translates into a better product for you so I just want to say thanks here on the forums to all the folx who work with the Air Tractor in the real world who are sharing their knowledge with us and supporting us in ways we've never dreamed. Cheers!"
 
Added a few more pics of putting the Tractor through it's paces...

We are doing very well in the "Fire Boss" She is beginning to look sweet. We are working on developing the first mission as well, for the "Fire Boss". Coordinates are being marked out for fire placement etc....
 
The "Fire Boss" is coming a long. We took a day off today to chill out with our families. We have been nose to the grindind wheel and we needed a break today. We will hit it again, tomorrow (Sunday). I have started to write a flight manual for the "Fire Boss". Walt Darran our Chief Pilot with over 24,000 hours, he has flown every plane imaginable. He will be starting to BETA test this bad boy and letting us know how this aircrafts flight dynamics are to the real world plane. We are so lucky to have this guy on board. He will make sure our planes are spot on. Thats about all I have for the moment, stop by and see our website if you have not and register in the forums.

See you guys and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Ciao
