A Virtual Tour of the Park

I have to admit that I’m addicted to our country’s national parks. Over the years I’ve visited many of the parks all over, from the east to the west and from the north to the south.

In particular I’ve trekked the 1300 miles from my home in Grand Rapids, Michigan to western Wyoming – home to Yellowstone National Park – at least a dozen times. Yellowstone is one of my favorite destinations.

The souvenirs that I take from Yellowstone are strictly the photographs and videos that I capture.

For those of you who might want to experience a few of the varied and amazing thermal features found in Yellowstone, I’ve posted them below.

PLease note that each geyser is on a separate page in order to minimize web page delay.

Things In and Around Airplanes

For many years part of our business was developing flight simulation software.

Our development activities had us traveling to many airports, airshows, exhibitions, conferences, flights and museums to conduct research for various software projects.

These photographs of “all things aviation related” are part of the activities that later turned into flight simulation products or events that I encountered while traveling.

Looking back this was an interesting and very enjoyable part of flying or looking up at the sky that span many years.

We hope that you enjoy these photos.

Navigation Aids

For many years part of our business was developing flight simulation software.

Our development activities had us traveling to many airports, airshows, exhibitions and museums to conduct research for various software projects. The term VORs is a generic name for navigational aids that are used by aircraft. Essentially a VOR provides electronic signals to aircraft instruments that guide it along the intended route.

These photographs of VORs are part of the activities that later turned into flight simulation products.

Looking back this was an interesting and very enjoyable part of our business.

We hope that you enjoy these photos.
