the landing was fine, but when I went to take a screenshot (in replay, I still need to concentrate when landing a jet) the nose wheel was turned for some reason so it woulda looked funky.  Trust me, the landing went off without a hitch!

You may be right Jake, I know that they are now banned from commercial aviation in Europe due to noise regulations.  ::)

Not many freeware sceneries if any for London. sadly the only place I fly to in London is Heathrow Intl and then I head back to France Charles Degaulle.

There is actualy quite a good freeware scenery for London City, nothing for Heathrow though other than an addon that adds the T5 building site.
