Here is a fictional re-paint of a Delta airlines 757 in a Fourth of July theme. We are taking off from Medford, Oregon and flying to Juneau, for a fresh seadfood dinner in Alaska.

Right before departure at Medford

A shot at cruise altitude

It is a steep descent into Juneau Intl runway 26 from the south

A last moment crosswind blew me off to the left, but we managed to land ok

The dinner and libations were good - cheers  8)  ;D

Nice shots Dan! I've been to Medford before, I saw Pres. Bush there (Well at least AF1) In fact I'm at Medford also for FS9. Just a few more legs until my Cross Country Trip is over!  8) ;D

Awesome shots.  I had no idea that Medford's airport was big enough to handle jets of that size!!!
