To Indianapolis: Part 1

Hello all, long time no see.  Summer vacation has been to fun to spend time on the computer.  Anyway, I'm going to Indianapolis this October, so I decided to recreate our flight.  We booked on Travelocity, so we wound up with two airlines.  We start in Lubbock, Texas, make a connection in Dallas, and then proceed to Indianapolis.  Without further adeau,

We start on Delta 4429, a CRJ-200.  I pretty much like the airplane, except that you can't mess with the weight and balance, and the panel is the Learjet 45 default.   Here we are awaiting passenger bording in Lubbock.

Here we are departing Lubbock.

Cruising at FL275 over Abilene.

Shutting down at the gate.  Nearly took me longer to taxi all the way to the gate than to fly there from Lubbock. ::)

Next leg is in an American Airlines MD-SP80.  If anyone knows of a good model of this aircraft (i.e., decent paint job, own panel, realistic model), then please tell me, otherwise I don't think I can do that leg.

Thanks for tuning in.

A Spectacular Looking MD82!

Search for aalmd82.zip at AVSIM.  I have and love flying this bird.

You'll also need the basepack for SGA's MD83.  SGA is known for good flight dynams and there is probably a good panel for it.  

Have fun!
