Nice flight!


This was big hop Bman but South America is a big place! I enjoyed this flight alot---this was the airport that had that accident in the rain a while ago---the runways are rather short!

What a great flight!  You need to post what airport scenery you are using on these hops.  You always have great airports...
I haven't spent much time adding scenery specifics but I should start collecting airports.  It really makes your destination mean something.

Very nice shots Frank. Very crisp, clear, and that 8800GT sure has very nice colors. Beautiful REX skies, and nice South American scenery. You definitively took some great shots.

I will post here soon; at the moment I am flying for a Virtual Airline and I am stuck in the US due to the fact that I am only allowed to use small planes at the moment.
