It's a great idea, but I was struck right away by the fact that, from the air, it looks like a downed aircraft at first glance. I guess the local pilots know about it, but it's amazing  nobody's called it in as a crash yet... ;D

Until newbie pilots from other states come in. ;D

He can surely use FS with that kid of cockpit. Just slap the monitor of the windshield. ;D

Ha Ha, thats a laugh,  I never thought anyone would actually do that.

..........................story alert......................
One night a few years ago some friends and I were looking at some planes on ebay, when we came across the most pathetic ad for airplane homes using old 727's, we concluded that NO one in their right mind would ever buy one of these EVER.........guess we were wrong... it was a good laugh for a few seconds

i have no idea why i remember that

pointless post
