AWESOME pics!! I like the melted-snow-on-the-windscreen one!

Welcome to NZ, Frank! Hope you brought your sun-block

Is that the FS9 or FSX CLS 747 (looks pretty good!).

It was raining here today, but it's the first time in a while! First time in at least a week that I've noticed the car thermometer below 20 degrees (During the day )

Sweet shots, did you fly Frankfurt Wellington direct?

Well remember we're about to come into another long, hot Kiwi summer! The pool's going to get a lot of use from now until April!

I don't get the climate in Germany- when I was in Europe in October, for the first week I was in Northern England, and it was hovering around the 0 degrees mark and most of the trees were already loosing their leaves, then, for the next three and a bit weeks, I was in Thuringia, where Autumn was only just beginning, all of the trees were pretty colors and we went rockclimbing outdoors. I specially remember the thermometer on the car saying 23 degrees at 6pm in the evening, and that night, we ate outside at a restaurant wearing just t-shirts!

However, now its -1 and snowing in Main-hatten, but in Leeds, North England, its a toasty 6 degrees and sunny. Weird!

Love all your screenshots by the way, very clever editing.
What airport did you stop at on the way? I'm sure the Frankfurt to Wellington flight distance is just a tad outside the -400's 13,000km maximum range!

It's a -200.. I prefer them to the -300 or -400. They look great with the short upper deck.

Whoops! I couldn't quite make out the type number in pics 1 and 3 so I wiki'ed 747-400 and it came up with Lufthansa as a primary user.

I think I need to study airliner.net pics more often
