Have said this before & will say it again, as quoted in aviation circles:


Anyone offers to fly you into Aspen some day, politely decline.
If they offer to fly you into Aspen at night, impolitely decline.

Nice evening to fly. Yeah, kinda late getting the nav lights on.

Man, this plane is wonderful.

Interesting looking building over there.

Looking pretty good so far.

Beautiful rendition in FS, imo.

Dropped a leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetle bit low, no biggie.


http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc161/ddublu/Aspen16.jpg
Love it!

Rolling out. Almost never have to use the brakes, landing speed is so slow compared to most small jets.

Turning off runway, kicking up a little snow.


http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc161/ddublu/Aspen19.jpg
Almost done.

How'z'bout we go skiing in the morning? Cross country for me, downhill for you if you'd prefer.

Thankee, my friends. :) Nice response thus far for a night flight. Kind of hard to see the shots unless the white sides of the posts are blocked.

The landing went very well, taking her in on 15, wind from 124 variable 6 to 9 knots with some of that good ole' mild turbulance thrown in. :cool:

Am having no regrets about investing in this no-compromising simulation.
As said before & will say again & again: Flight1 does it right. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/verkleidung/costumed-smiley-011.gif Besides, how
in the wide, wide world of sports can yoiu beat their 30 day money-back guarantee?

Ouch. That VC makes the prospect of FSX, albeit at 18-20 fps, so much more enticing. :eek:

[KiddieCake]

IMagine standing on that mountain/hill seeing that mustang buzz over your head :P, Great shots, looks like a fun bird to fly.

[IronmanMLR]

David that was excellent flying and some great shots. I appreciate those who post night shots as that is part of flying.

The last time I tried a night time landing in the mountains the ATC kept directing me into a mountain.

[EssexFireRescue]

Some of the best shots ive seen in a long time, lovelie stuff :)
