So, I realized that in only 3 months to the day I'll be 20!  Yay!  So I decided to load up my new favorite jet, my 717-200 Delta and fly a short late afternoon flight from LAX to Las Vegas.

After takeoff over the mountains around Los Angeles:
...

After about an hour or so, I found myself over the Hoover Dam.  nice view!
...

So, I learned something today in my young career as a serious FS2004 user.  When the runway you THINK you are landing at has red lights on them, it's not your runway.  Anyway, I landed safely on the wrong landing strip.
...

Touchdown-- just a little bit off the center line (her I'm just a Beginner!)
...

Slowing down and getting ready to leave the runway close to it's end.  Notice the hotel in the background, a pyramid (the mirage??)
...


Anywho, that was my flight.  I made some adjustments to my video card and the graphics have improved slightly.  I'll take it like it is-- it's fun and enjoyable no matter what.

Good flight, although not my favorite.  I'm not a big fan of DL's intermediate livery.

Nice shots, the pyramid is the Luxor.  If memory serves me  right, the Mirage is just down the street.(thats pretty safe to say as they're all on the same street) Tongue
