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...

Up and Away! Love those Bill Lyons Water Textures!

Navy Pier

Wrigley Field

Enjoying the city

Nice pics. One question: Why was Miegs shut down?

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!

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. Grin

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]!
