Hi,

You might know that birdman has created a scenery for Sheffield airport, well i think its brilliant and here is my review;

I have tried this scenery and what can i say. **amazing** its exactly like the one at Sheffield. Well done. I spent a good half hour exploring it, and its a much improved version than the Fs9 one. I Like the scenery, The cars and especially the working hangars are brilliant and add's to the atosphere of flying. there is no bad points at all i dont think and everything is up to top notch. Continue making great free ware! I live approx. 10-15mins away from the airport and it actually used to be pretty busy, but i think its just ready to be completey closed down, i mean who wants to fly to sheffield. And there's the new Doncaster/sheffield airport opening, so basically its got no chance!!!

**If birdman can supply the link for others to download that would be brill!**

Thanks, As always

Jimbo

Is that a big runway? i cant really notice, well it looks it. Can a 747-400 take off from there you reckon?
And thanks for the photos birdy, now it looks like an airport, not a building site!

Birdman ....that sounds promising...Wow for us guys it would really be something ...BTW I now have the your Sheffield scenery and am using it as my base as from now. Them Chopper Coppers better move out and quick Grin

.........can't wait for Donny...tomorrow will do...commoner Wink

PS...It was the base for V-Bomber and has the runway for just about anything...Here's a quote..

Its runway – 2,741m long by 60m wide – is conducive to long-haul operations and Ryall confirmed negotiations are ongoing with a number of other carriers – low-cost, scheduled and cargo. He said: “The discriminator we have, compared with other airports in the area, is the runway length; we’re keen to capitalise on what the runway offers. While the initial contract is with TUI, and we see more of that, the airport is also well configured for long-haul and cargo services. We can take all aircraft – 747, DC10, MD11, 737, 757, 777.”

wow, never realised so many people in here were from sheffield! good on you lads (hope there are sum blades amongst you) Sheffield airport is currently open to private flyers (and the blasted chopper copper) I happen to work (part-time thank god) in a popular supermarket right underneath the flight path about 1/4 mile from the thresh-hold and from the canteen you are forever seeing cessnas aiming straight at you while you sup yor tea making a 15min break last 25.
