**Thanks birdman! (Sheffield scenery)**

[Jimbo]

Hi,

You might know that birdman has created a scenery for Sheffield airport, well i think its brilliant and here is my review;

I have tried this scenery and what can i say. **amazing** its exactly like the one at Sheffield. Well done. I spent a good half hour exploring it, and its a much improved version than the Fs9 one. I Like the scenery, The cars and especially the working hangars are brilliant and add's to the atosphere of flying. there is no bad points at all i dont think and everything is up to top notch. Continue making great free ware! I live approx. 10-15mins away from the airport and it actually used to be pretty busy, but i think its just ready to be completey closed down, i mean who wants to fly to sheffield. And there's the new Doncaster/sheffield airport opening, so basically its got no chance!!!

**If birdman can supply the link for others to download that would be brill!**


Thanks, As always

..Not seen it since I last flew in the RC soaring Nats almost 30 years ago...sure to have changed a bit  See the link to Sheff in my last entry?..thanks for the heads up. ....commoner.

PS I live about 8 miles south of Sheffield (Hoyland) 14 miles from Donny......used to trek to Luton for Easyjet to Zurich a lot till they pulled the plug. Now Manchester or Liverpool via Woodhead....see yah...commoner.

Is that a big runway? i cant really notice, well it looks it. Can a 747-400 take off from there you reckon?
And thanks for the photos birdy, now it looks like an airport, not a building site!

Birdman ....that sounds promising...Wow for us guys it would really be something ...BTW I now have the your Sheffield scenery and am using it as my base as from now. Them Chopper Coppers better move out and quick

[jb2_86_uk]

wow, never realised so many people in here were from sheffield! good on you lads (hope there are sum blades amongst you) Sheffield airport is currently open to private flyers (and the blasted chopper copper) I happen to work (part-time thank god) in a popular supermarket right underneath the flight path about 1/4 mile from the thresh-hold and from the canteen you are forever seeing cessnas aiming straight at you while you sup yor tea making a 15min break last 25.
