At first I thought the "80,000" was a typo. Then I saw the aircraft. Nice set! I especially like the cockpit shot with the sun on the horizon.

I love these virtual cockpit shots at very high altitude !!

A small tip: to make a virtual cockpit shot look even better, you can move the eyepoint out of the centered position, with the usual commands CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, CTRL+SHIFT+BACKSPACE, CTRL+ENTER, etc... When using a nice-looking virtual cockpit, it gets easy to find an original angle of view.
