Here are a few shots of a 757 on approach to New York's JFK!

In the distance, a 757 is lining herself up to land while a soft snow starts to fall.
...

Behind the approaching jet, New York's Empire State Building looks on.
...

A gusty wind is keeping the pilot on his toes while trying to keep this bird on her course.
...

With Manhattan in the distance, the setting is perfect.
...

In just a few seconds, we will be on the ground. Thanks for watching!!

Now thats what i call cool shots! Amazing man, what a view.

I love the 1e and 4th.

Where did you find those WTC-towers, or do you have to turn the time before 9/11?

Love the 4th shot but I find it  a little creepy to see the WTC in the background.

Nice shots, nice approach...wish I had seen you smoke her on though.  (nice to see a 2 pointer with a little smoke lingering off the runway on touchdown)
Something you don't see very often with choppers Smiley.

I know what you mean Savas. You may not know this because it has not been brought up since you joined, but I lost two freinds in the attacks on 9-11. I inserted them into my sim as a rememberence. 9-11 for me had a true impact in my life. Sometimes flying around them brings some sort of closure. I actually like to see them there, it is comforting.
I also shot photos for a firm at ground zero the week after. Click here:

Sorry for your loss Dave. I know in such tragic events even the little things like two pixellated buildings in a flight sim help those of us that grieve or remember the days before the event.

Just whenever I see the majestic buildings in pictures or in this case a sim shot, I cannot help but rmemeber everything that happened that day. Not a bad thing mind you as we should never forget, its just like a small jolt back to reality.

I also saw the ground zero pictures when I came here, and was amazed at them. The destruction a few crazed lunatics can cause is mind boggling

May we never forget!

Thanks Savas. To be honest, I was alittle surprised when I flew this sequence the other night. They popped up in front of me and it was a bit "freaky" to me also.

Well, it just shows how many peoples lives are affected by that tragedy. I hope you'll forgive my perhaps hurtfull question about the towers, Fly2e.

I tend to forget that a lot of people around here are American. Even I as a European will never forget that day nor the place I was when i heard the news. The images still make me very quite.
