Sometimes we get to see the KC-10s at Christchurch airport and seldom a MD-11 freighter (FEDEX) , cargo bays at Sydney OZ was chocker full with MDs in 2007 and 2009 but have not been back since.

Agree re a good FSX design, not that there is anything wrong with the work by JBK in fact his models have stood the test of time, they are all classics. It is a pity he dissappeared from the sim world. I completely agree, his external modelling on all his flying boats really have nothing to compare to. I have tweaked the textures and cockpit as best I can but there is not much to improve really as they had quite simple instrument panels due no clutter from radios and other electronic or electrical gadgets. I have found JBK's texture mapping a bit weird at times and you get unexpected outcomes...

That's a nice fire power demo. :clap: It is really quite pretty to see, a combination of everything , that would be one hell of an airshow, I've only seen a live fire once in Australia just after the early F-18 were introduced and that was only with the gatling gun , I had to wear gommer goggles and a helmet ... some reason that struck me was how was that going to save me and we were well down range at an oblique angle but that was Super B-)

Same here Scotty ,,, no pictures. Seem's funny Ian and Marty can obviously see them tho ?? Sjimc2000 Hmm .... we were able to when first posted , same story with photo-bucket years back did the very same thing, least they saved the pic posted but anything during the change was lost'd , seem to be an annual problem with these screen shot pic sites , they can't make up there mind what they want nor do they care about historical postings.

My last real flight from Wellington, the weather looked exactly THAT! B-)

Roel , I'm sure the pilots simply wanted to land at the airport just for the thrill off it .... even if they moved away around the bay, I wonder how many plane nutter Hong Kongcanese were pissed of when they took, moved the airport, no more superb aircraft photos.

Yes man,great shot!!! Scott

One thing .. the rain is going like ..Like going down .. no flow :)
