I've been flying a lot lately, but I usually get done and go watch TV or go to bed (real life sucks, don't it Grin

). So here is a sampling of the only decent screenshots I've taken over the last 2 weeks

Sunset over LA, flying the Skymaster into Santa Monica

I...have no idea where this is. I've been flying hops in the CJ1. Started in Wichita, flew west to LA, north to Portland, and currently I'm in Helena, Montana heading back East. Eventually I will make my way into Europe and from there...?

Landing in Portland. I leave real-time on most of the time, so a vast majority of my flights end with the sun setting

Departing Portland. This screenshot was a good idea that didn't really turn out very well...

Climbing out...I love business jets. Give or take 20 minutes straight climb to 40000 feet then cruise at Mach .65 Cool

On final into Helena

Thanks for looking, leave comments if you please!

I work for the Swift Aviation Group in PHX...the fleet is listed on our public site so I don't see why it would matter being here. Only one of the Citation X's is on there though.

Great shots! I love the CJ1 where is it from? I've been after a small business jet for a while.

o.65 Mach cruise seems very slow? Compared to a lear45 at .78 and the Citation X whipping along at .92!

It's the Eaglesoft CJ1

The CJ1 isn't as fast as a Lear and definitely not as fast as a Citation X. Lear's and the Citation X are designed for speed, look at their swept wings, pointy noses, big engines....

I use the screenshot function in FSX and then crop the picture to look nice.

I also have REX, Ground Environment X, Ultimate Terrain X, and ENB-bloom running, so that's probably why it may look different
