Dassault-Aviation, Falcon 50 Corporate Jet, Circa 1976.  Designed by Yannick Lavigne

I've had this plane for a few weeks but don't remember seeing any pictures of it posted, it has an amazing V/C and interior as well as the full compliment of guages and an excellent overhead panel. It also comes with a very descriptive PowerPoint read me!

Took the little plane for a spin around Chicago. Took off from Chicago O'Hare and landed at Meigs for lunch.

Sorry for the missing black frames, this is due to badly cropped pictures. I didn't notice untill I uploaded them and am to lazy to redo them, mind I'm too busy packing for a long weekend trip to Belgium  ;D

It's FREEWARE and it is available here. There are several repaints for it as well, just make sure you get the FS2002 version, it has been updated since the FS2000 one.

I aggree Crumbso, they aren't the best set of clouds from VSky, I am slowly working my way through the different ones available. Some are fantastic though and much better than the stock.

Beautiful.

That remains today to be one of the nicest a/cs that there is for Flightsim.

Amazing pics!!! I wish I had a better computer. How hard does it hit on performance? Also I didn't notice the "missing black frames" you were talking about. Oh well still awesome pics.

Woodlouse, the Blimp is all that remains of an addon I used by Bill and Lynn Lyons, it was released by them at Xmas on the Golden Wings forum, I think it was called "Golden Wings". Once you had manually installed this you could switch the sim between modern day and the old Golden era. all A.I. became old planes and some building textures were altered, it was real nice but conflicted a bit with VSky. When I removed it all that was left was this Blimp over Meigs that replaced the default M$ one. It's real nice and slowly circles the airport.

jlvandem, I haven't noticed any performance drop useing this aircraft on my system and look closer to the pictures to spot the missing "frames"  ;)

Thanks for all your replys, it helps to keep me awake, I now have only 4 hours left before I set off to Belgium (7 hours drive from where I live in the UK!) and it's 12.15am and I can't sleep, arghhhhhhhh...... :(
