I have taken to the POSKY 747s recently and was enjoying the POSKY Polar 747-400F. Decided to fly from Chicago O'hare to Fairbanks, Alaska...granted I have no clue the flight plans of Polar but was just having fun.

The last shot was a close call on a different 747, that the ATC had goofed up on..

Over Chicago

With the water reflecting the lake

Over Alaska

Banking the final leg

and the close call. The ATC almost waited too long to call around. Good thing the passengers couldnt see what was coming, but I think they heard the jets right above them...

Comments good or bad are always welcome Wink

Fantastic shots there! The ATC in FS2004 definitly needs improvment. That's one of the features I'll be looking for in 2006. 8)

Mike,

The Qantas was actually in Australia. It was just the dessert shot after the Polar main course.

I didnt want to add another thread for one shot
