You guys know me pretty well, right?
You know that I love those commercial jet-engined aircrafts, stacked with 100's of funny buttons and gauges.
I have found a new love, and honestly I'm as surprised as you are Smiley
Her last name is b200, first name King Air, a PW turboprop driven twin...smaller than the horizontal stabilizers on most of the aircrafts I usually fly  Grin

I have been doing nothing but flying her this weekend, to Sweden, Denmark, Norway and even a stint to Germany (hi Exploder!)
Here are some pics from a flight between Oslo and my hometown Gothenburg (ENGM - ESGG)

Climbing away while doing an 180degree turn to join radial 197 outbound from GRM VOR

Over ENGM
...

The weather was splendid enroute
...

Final approach into ESGG, I have retro-fitted the cockpit with a wxr from Reality XP
...

About to touchdown on runway 21
...

Aircraft resting at stand 22

The King Air b200 is made by Aeroworx, and I must say it's one fince piece of software!  Smiley
Not the best pics I have of it though, those can be found here by the way:

hehe, the spotview actually defaults to just 37ft, and I didn't really change it until the approach, I just admired the exterior for most parts of the flight  Grin

I am not surprised by your enjoyment of it Nexus, only because it is also one of my favorites. I am thinking about writing a review on this one for my September reviews in the payware forum Smiley
