Beautiful pics of a beautiful plane, Slim.

One question though.  Why was your 2L door (main cabin entry) open during pushback?  Surely your cabin crew closed and armed the doors for departure, didn't they?

LOL
Great edit, Bob.


Google it.

LOL you caught me, actually I didnt see it till after we were backing and I went to external view to get some pics. They need a light on the panel like the real ones do for us absent minded individuals. I got a good memory, its just short, hehe

Trial and error, I wanted a shot of lightning so I started pausing the game intermittenly till I happened to catch a strike. I was hoping for a shot of the lightning itself but it was a tiny one down on the ground, but as i went to spot view to look around the horizon for more, I was amazed to see the reflection on the DC10 itself.

;D ;D ;D  You gotta have a quick trigger finger to capture a lightning strike, or slow your speed to half or quarter, to get that much more of an opportunity to capture the shot.  Its a lot of fun and very satisfying to get that shot, I know I have been doing it for awhile  lol  Always want to get that perfect shot.

Thanks for the reply. I got real lucky on that shot, I tried earlier just holding my finger down on the shutter button but that just gave me a bunch of the same pic with nothing very good.  I ended up with about 25 other shots that I missed, finally when the lightning was happening fairly frequent, I got the shot.
