Happy Flying!

Man, is it just me, or is that plane BUTT UGLY? Just kidding, wonderful bird in a wonderful setting, now just try to explain that to the British Police!  ;D
I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

Nice shot, if a little... dangerous.

Carabosse, you're new here. I'll be gentle but I'll warn you I'm SimVs resident fruit loop. Here are a couple of bridge inspirations for you...

This is extremely clever. Being an anorak I checked the distance between the towers of Tower Bridge. 65 metres or 213 feet 3 inches. http://www.skyscrapernews.com/buildings.php?id=3143

The wingspan of the B-36 is 230 ft 0 in (70.12 m). :o :D

It certainly was tricky but can be done by approaching ever so slightly sideways ;)!

Crikey, that's some pretty impressive flying! Top effort Carrabose!
