1) The screenshot image must consist of a screen captured from a Flight Simulator program (FS2004 or FSX,) and the position of the shot must be from somewhere within the New Zealand territory.

2) Some editing is allowed (if you know how to do it.) Additional images - either screenshots or "real" images can be added - but the main component of the image should always be of a Flight sim screen capture.

3) The images must be jpg and size must be at least 1024 pixels wide but no wider than 1280 pixels -- A good free resizing program can be found at http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDownload.htm

Heh heh. Wow, what an experience that would be (but I think 35 hours in the air's enough in one go).

Interestingly, the owners of G-AGTM in my avatar run a flight school alongside the museum and apparently you can have the chance to fly the old girls including their Rapides. I expect you'd have to have a lot of logged hours before they'd let you loose with one though, as most are single seaters with no room for the instructor! ninja.gif

We had a documentary on TV 20/25 years back .. still have it on VHS , covering all aspects of aviation , one happened to about the Imperial Airways HP-42s heading to Cairo - some amazing film , speeds were slower than the Rapide at times .. 'what an experience' oh yeah smile.gif

Drat - I know. I should've checked the topic first before spending all the time screengrabbing sad.gif

No worries though - I'll replace it I think, as I'm not *that* keen on it!

EDIT : One Cold War jet replaced by another!
