These shot are in FS2002 and not too shabby, if I don't say so myself. I have seen some great shots recently from the new FS9, but I guess I am just trying to say that the old horse has still got some good life in her. (Just my opinion!) I'm sure I'll fold soon too but in the meantime, I'm still enjoying the crap out of 'old 02'.

Great Shots Eric!
I have that plane too and like to fly out of Boeing Field or Snohomish County- the first 2 airports she flew from.
What city is in the distance in #3?
Those MelJEts are Amazing!

Right you are Eric, I wish I could display things as well as you do. As far as 2004 is concerned, its gonna have to wait a bit for me too, I still have some exploring to do in 2002 so I can have some comparisons when I do move up............

I absolutely love this plane as well. There is something near my home called 'Seafair'. It is across the border near Seattle. Its great because Boeing (which is right near there) brings out all of its products to showcase and their is a fairly good aerial display. It was on TV today and they did a nice flyby in this exact model in the same factory livery. It all just reminded me of how accurate this Meljet model really is.
Thanks
Eric

Yes, I live about 3 hours north. Across the boarder in Vancouver, BC.
I've flown into Boeing Field a number of times in real life. In fact I did my first cross country flight to Boeing Field.(Everett, WA). It is very intimidating lining up to take off in a tiny Cessna 152 and hearing over the radio that a 777 is on final!
It is a very cool spot
