Probably the best freeware airport I have seen in quite a long time!

Thanx for looking. And, as always, C&C are always welcome.

Great shots U4EA

May I ask what scenery?

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

#3 is awesome.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

It's part of the 8 piece Alaska package, listed here in my contest entry.

I've been to about half the airports and each one is quite spectacular.

Bob has taken the time to make a list and map! I, for one, appreciate his effort. Very Helpful!

I have to agree with monsieur patchz, number 3 for me too Shocked

May I ask why you only use about half of your "properties" weight? Huh

As good as your shots are, IMHO they would benefit from the added kbs! Then what do I know, I'm just a noob Cool

As long as my shots stay within the dimension limits, I just let the resolution 'fall' where it may. There's been quite a few I've had to reject due to the fact that they exceeded the 155 limit. I reckon that the more scenery heavy the shot the weightier it is.

I reckon I could take the time to "beef up" shots to get them as close to the limit as possible, but I see this as a showcase sorta thing and not really a beauty contest.

Not really worth the extra time and effort IMHO.
