Do you mean Swissair 111? If so, may they rest in peace.

An interesting shot. Loads going on, very well set out! Could do with a touch more AA to banish the jaggies however ;)

Nice that you can relate your shot with a movie.

No, he meant flight 121, I just checked it out, it's an educational movie for young'ns...not even close to flight 111's story.

From the page - This edition of the Big Adventure Series travels to Zurich, Switzerland, on a McDonnell-Douglas MD-11 airplane. The trip includes watching the ground crew fill the gas tanks with 24,000 gallons of fuel, baggage check-in and loading, airplane food preparation, and even pilot training. Narrated by children and with colorful graphics illustrating the more technical information, The Big Plane Trip is an excellent choice for children embarking on their first flight, plane enthusiasts of all ages, or as an introduction to a transportation unit. ~ Heather M. Fierst, All Movie Guide

As for Flight 111...a terrible tragedy, saw the History Channel show on it, a terrific effort by the pilots but nothing they could do.

N797MX - Nice shot and cool referance to the movie

Definitely could have used some AA here. Also it might just be me but the sky seems a bit monotonous... Apart from that this shot would have great potential...

For next month, put the AA on. I know for many of us we can't run the Sim with it on, but just find the shot you want, pause it, turn AA on (this will reload the Sim if i remember correctly) and THEN take the shot BUT make sure you don't get the "Simulation Paused" text in it. That would really ruin it.

Anyway i like it, the movie reference is great and i guess better luck next month, N797MX.
