Today I went for a solo flight out of my local international airport. I decided to take my camera along, heres a few shots of what I got.

Having a look at the ramp

Taxing down the taxiway. Terminal is 2 miles to the right, tower is on the left

My wheel and some houses.

A nice look at a lake about 20 miles east of CYYC. The grass around it sure looks green after our recent massive rainstorms... and err floods.

I tried to get some pictures of the airport before I landed, but this was all I got and you can't really see it (Was busy getting instructions from terminal and tower). Can kind of make out the tower from a distance.

Cheers,
RB

Hehe thanks. Maybe if i get more, my FS2004 will look better and better!

One thing I wouldnt mind is if FS2004's taxilines look someone like that... bordered by black, that be cool. Wouldnt mind some wear on runway markings either.

O.K.

We have, in the first ppicture, from left ot right:

Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche
Cessna 414
Looks to be another Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche behind the Cessna
Diamond DA-20C1 Eclipse
Cessna 172 (Probably an 'S' model)

This is from memory, I might add, so I could be wrong. The Diamond MIGHT be a DA-40, looks kinda bigger....

You are really close. Thats a cessna 401, and I believe the 172 on the right is an R model (Though ive never been in it). The diamond is a DA-40 i think as well
