Always such a shame :cry: :cry: when aircraft are taken off flying duties, but she had a good innings :clap: :clap:

Nice video that, can I ask what scenery was used, looks very nice.

Cheers

All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

I have been flying that little orange Boeing today. Its quite nice. But tomorrow I will upgrade the sounds to something like the default FSX Grumman Goose. That should make it sound fantastic.
Then I plan to use the B-247 to fly that Coast to Coast New York to Oakland trip. Low and slow and nice scenery so it will be enjoyable for sure.
