I took a trip with the 737 up to Boeing's Field close to Seattle to see what the airport looks like and practice some touch and goes.

But i got distracted when I saw this big mountain at the horizon. I took some screenshots of the trip.

This is actually a question ...

\

What is that thing? Is it St. Helen? The volcano I mean? ???

By the way I have tons more pictures and I took a movie of one of the touch and goes and it's all posted here

Ah, the brilliant VC of PMDG's 737-700. Unfortunately, I don't know about the mountain. ???

Otherwise sweet shots Wink

Indeed it is Amplifier.

Why does the 737 only have 1 winglet?

It's just the angle at which the shot was taken.
If you look at shot five, you can cleary see they're both there.

your right, if you look at it closely you'll see that the angle is right behind it so it makes it look like its gone. interesting at first look tho Grin

Yes, that mountain is Mt. Rainier. The tallest mountain/volcano in WA. It really is quite a sight in real life! Much bigger than it is on FS. Nice pics btw!
