My favorite environment!

.. is airport environments during winter at night. That gives me a real "before travelling"-feeling, even though we're just picking up my sister (she lives in Barcelona to take some grades and often flies between BCN and OSL), I get that feeling. So I decided to live it out in FS. Didn't exactly succeed though.. it's just something about that smell, and those low temperatures.. and that cold you're going to get for standing there in your hawaiian shirt because you thought you could park close to the terminal.. Nah, that's never happened. My dad DID change to slippers before boarding our 738 to BCN in december though.. what he didn't know was that we would board by stairs and that the bus stopped about 30-50 metres away from the aircraft, and that there was 15 centimetres of snow.. ew.

What airport better for me than my favorite airport (even though it's got the typical Norway sky*pun intended*high prices) Gardermoen?

Boy, I love this beast. I should fly it more often. Another dirty McPhat repaint. 2 Norwegian B733s taxiing in the background.

Pushing out of the parking spot.

Taxiing to the end of the runway. Car also rolling down the runway. (Hmm.. I felt so certain I hit something when I reached 140 knots? :P)

Boy, I love this angle.

And a preview of my next flight. Freeware, but it would be stupid to create a new post over in Freeware just for these two. So posting these as links.

Great non-centerlined takeoff! Woo!

Great shots, the last one is nice. 8-) Ah, I have that paint too, a little over done if you ask me. Never seen a Qantas bird ever get that dirty.

The paint is surely not realistic Mitch, but it really looks good!

Thanks for the comments.

Great shots and I like the paint as well. Even tough an airliner would never get that dirty in real life it does add a realistic look to the plane IMOP.
