I'm doing a tour of the UK using the C172SP and I had arrived at Caernarfon (EGCK) some time earlier.
I was in the bar enjoying a Coke when I saw this big plane, a Twin Bonanza, had arrived. All the way from France apparently.

I had a chat with the pilot. We decided that I got to borrow the Bonanza while he flew my C172, taking some air 2 air pics. He needed some good in-flight pictures of the plane anyway because he was going to sell it.

We headed to Welshpool (EGCW) for a short stop, then back to Caernarfon again. Got some nice pictures of the Welsh countryside.

The Twin Bonanza having just arrived. Note how he's blocking the taxiway with the tail of the aircraft. Bloody frogs :-lol

Finding Welshpool airport is actually quite dificult. After some circling about the field suddenly appeared right in front of me. Here the Twin Bonanza is seen parked next to a sleeker looking twin.

Actually I'm afraid I don't remember where I got the Bonanza from. I downloaded it some time ago but never got 'round to flying it until now. It's freeware by Eric Dantès and I got it from some French flightsim site (I remember it because took me a while to find where the "Download" link was :-lol ). I'm sure someone else can help you find it. You can also try to do a search in the FS2004 forums for "Twin Bonanza".

Great shots, the VFR scenery is amazing as it even gives an impression of the forests being lifted out of hill sides and being 3D.
