I couldn't sleep tonight, so I stayed up all night and cleaned the room, downloaded updates, and flew.

I flew this in about 40 minutes. Here are some pics.

Northwest Airlines takes off from Laguardia Airport's famous runway that is about 6 inches away from the water. I think a plane actually flew off the runway here once)

As per ATC orders, I made my turn back towards Philadelphia Intl. This flight didn't have much navigation, so I decided to snap a close up of the A320 making it's small turn.

Lining up Philly's runway 27 R. Yes, I am a little too high and I narrowly had a hard time stopping her on the runway as you'll see in the last picture of this sequence.

In probably my most accurate and smooth landing of my life, we have touchdown!

It took one hell of an auto-break and a heavy grip on my joystick's brake button to stop her, but she ended up here thankfully.

Hope you like!

Do you use Spoilers or thrust reverse? ( Shot #4,5)
You probobly could have stopped without trouble if so. Grin

Spoilers:/ key reversers: hold down f2 after touchdown (after going to idle of course) you'll hear it.

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!
