From an airport, the name of which my lung capacity does not live up to, to Luis Munoz Marin Intl. in Puerto Rico.

Best leg of my Caribbean Tour so far, despite being the shortest.

Felt great to get to a 'real' airport again, with an MD-81 and a CRJ-700 taking off, whilst I taxied along the runway, quite a feeling when all you fly to, is small airports, that rarely ever have a controller Tongue

Through the backwindow:

Taking off, the gear retracting in its own funny way Tongue

Climbing out:

Beeeeeautiful:

Great terrain:

Had a constant 30 FPS as well... I don't know why, but with this flight, this weekend couldn't have ended better Cheesy

You're saying uncontrolled airfields aren't 'real' airports...? Huh

I personally avoid larger airports Grin

The gear retraction on this thing gets me every time! Someone with a strange sense of humour must have designed it, surely!!!

Nice shots

Reminds me of a wasp flying with the legs dangling. Wink

Nice shots, especially #2 and #3.

The mind is like a parachute...it only works when it's open.

Bad wording on my part, but coming across an airport with an ILS was a welcome change, even if I didn't use it Tongue

Thanks guys!
