Darn, I'm at it again

Inspired by YodaNYC's thread in the FS2k2 forum, I took a break from my routine European medium hauls, and created a flight between KMIA - TNCM
My route was the following
KMIA SID SKIPS BR53V ZQA A555 DDP B520 JUICE DCT TNCM

I only took some screenies of my approach and landing, since that's easily the most fun part  ;)
The weather wasn't all that bad, but there were some light turbulence, and unpredictable wind/gusts coming from 070 to 085 degrees, but nothing to write home about  :)

Our aircraft for today, a contintental 737-700
Image

Less than 10nm out, the spotters on Maho beach are probably already standing-by with their cameras  ;)
Image

Gotcha! Gee, that spotter on the hotel surely has a  kick-ass zoom...
Image

Spotter's from everywhere grabs their gear and "shoots" the magnificent 737, here's another one
Image

That dude at the hotel again  ;D

head shot of the 737 making ground contact for the first time since leaving KMIA

The jet blast is causing everybody to protect themselves from the huge sand cloud, everydody, except for this addicted spotter, talk about a veteran!  :)
Image

Speaking of addicted spotter, this guy apparantly climbed up on a palm tree just to get a good shot of the 737 ::)
Image

You gotta love those spotters  :)


I was supposed to take more screenies, but FS performed an "illegal operation" and decided to quit on me...  :(

Thanks for watching!

Sweet Jesus!  :o :o :o :o :o

Besides the fact of the incredible shots and beautiful landscape (is it freeware or payware?), I must admit that what shocked me the most is the quality of the screnshots/pictures. You could post them on airliners.net and nobody would ever know they

Actually, wouldn't that kinda be fun to try?  lol  If I could get the same quality shots as those, I'd give it a shot just to see if I could pull it off.  LOL
