« on: May 18, 2005, 01:59:44 PM »
I notice my plane shadow is in places it should not be, it is in the sky sometimes ,  over my wing in the sky when there is no mountian in back ground.  Its kinda dark too, I actually have to double look to make sure its my shadow, because it looks like its someone flying beside me.  lmao!!  Its like ,, how in the heck is this guy flying right next to me because i saw noone up with me.  :p

i have that happen every now and again, for a split second...

usually going level, but the terrain is rising and the shadow goes up off the top of the terrain for a second or so.

i can't remember if the terrain going up towards the sun or away was the case, but i know it was mid-morning sun about 45 degrees up
I don't know what to put here yet.

CC happens on hill slopes to me. Just fly over a hill with low clearence, level. See the shadow of your plane fly in the air.
