Yep, that's a nimitz-class-carrier, 98,000 feet above sea level, with an FA-18 on its deck.

Do Not Ask. ;D

No, it's a scenery package that came with the files necessary to reposition it - a .xml file and a .mdl file.

I guess your pilots too as at 98.000 feet the F-18 would stall right out of the catapult ;D

Its a new concept... a carrier where you can only launch planes... maybe you can crashland the shuttle there... i cant think of anything else that can go that high :p

Flying carriers rules !
This one looks good but I tell you, it's much more fun when you try to land on a carrier that is actually flying, turning, following a AI path.
Somebody's should make a model of those huge flying carriers like in Ace Combat 6, FSX allows that now, would be fun :)
