Hilo-ing around Chicago

Postby ReverseThrust » Fri Nov 14, 2003 11:44 pm

Got this new Hughes 500D the other day and thought I'd go sightseeing around Chicago.  Visited there a few years ago.  Even though they'd never allow it, I got up close...    

Sitting at poor unfortunate Miegs...

Yes, it was very unfortunate.  Mayor Daley decieded that his interests in putting a 'park' there were more important than one of the world's best locations for a GA airport.  

Baisically-  he said 'screw the people' and bulldozed the thing overnight.  Photos & Info:

Hey Boeingman, I know that ballpark!!!!!!!!!

That's the place where that cubs fan had screwed up that catch and helped my favorite team win the Championship. ;D

GO MARLINS!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, great pics.

It's too bad that my video doesn't allow my water effects to be set to high. Just medium.

Well, at least my video card still allows aircraft reflections.

Thanks for the comments!  It is a great chopper- comes with a panel and soundpack too.  The Gazelle that's in the ACOF Helicopters section here on SimV is great too. Downloaded it today.  

Yes, that's where the unfortunate cub fan caught that ball.  I was rooting for the marilins too.  So glat the beat the yankees in [b]6/b]!
