Well it is high noon and the weather here isn't looking so nice as we depart from the beautiful Island of Aruba. I wish I could show you some of the wonderful white sands but with this rain shower and a tight schedule to keep, I am afraid you will just catch us leaving!

The controller clears us for take off. We had such sunshine here the past 4 days. The locals did say that the showers here usually last a half hour and then the sun is back out.
Engines spooling, we start to move.

The Fokker 100 leaves the ground and we head up into the grey clouds while the rain drives at our aircraft!

We scream past the tower as the jet climbs up and away. The palm trees looked as if they needed a good soaking anyway!

Gear up and all looks good. As I keep her at a 15 degree angle, I stare out the windshield into a grey fog; I know that in just a few minutes, my aircraft will be high above this mess with Mr. Sunshine giving me a warm welcome.

As we rocket out of the grayness, we are surrounded by puffy white clouds. Good afternoon Mr. Sunshine, glad you could join us!

Hope you like!!

Great shots,
I really like the quality of your screens in FS2004 (I hope that what it's in!?)

Anyway I'm one those few people still holding out, scanning the forums and watching screen shots before I make the change. Could you please tell me what your system specs are?

Thanks and again beautiful shots

You've just inspired me to download it. Grin

Seems quite a detailed plane for freeware.
Shame there isn't a BA livery, although the BMI one looks pretty smart, same with the AA one.

Just installed it, and my first impressions are very good. Grin

737 panel fits it well I think, and I'm a fan of that panel anyway as i fly the 737 more than any other default aircraft.
And it really is very framerate friendly, even with my 128 MB of RAM.

Still it's much better than mine...
