British Airways from Gatwick.

The following shots are of a flight I did this afternoon, and thought I would post them here for all to enjoy.

It was a flight I did from Gatwick to Vienna in the LDS 767, as I wanted to see what Fly Tampa's latest offering looked like. Unfortunately, when I arrived in Vienna, it was already dark, so I will have to make another flight in the day time.

I also had some shots that I took when it was starting to get dark, but they were too dark to do anything with.

Enjoy.

Just as the sun was setting while over France with some interesting, but heavy cloud cover below us. It was a nice sunset, as you can see... ;D

Comments welcome!

Cheers,

Thanks again for the comments, much appreciated.

Like Michael (ramsa) knows, it takes a long time to get screenshots just right. I have lots of practice still to do, but the amount of work that goes into this 'art' is worth it to me, as I am now producing screenshots that I would only have imagined doing until recently. Walk & Follow also comes in handy too... ;)

To cspyro21:
The airport is Gatwick2004 by OSS, and the ground texture is from VisualFlight's VFR England & Wales. I also have the terrain that goes with this, which is well worth it if you doing your flying in the UK.

Here's another shot I took flying over Dover.
