FS 2004:

My trusty Boeing 737-400 en-route from Palm Springs, across the desert to Phoenix, with the Salton Sea and the towering San Bernardino Mountains in the background....

...Heading for the dusty desert with a clear blue sky overhead!
IFR Flight Plan filed, and under the control of Air Traffic...

Nothing but sand ahead, and steering by my Radios for Navigation!...>>

Paul....737-400 a nice, easy-to-manage, bird!... Wink

1. Fozzer you still amaze me with your warm shots. Cool

2. That 737 looks kind of weird. Doesn't look like a normal 737-400. Huh

3. You seem to have abandoned your Aerobat Roll Eyes

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

It certainly is a Boeing 737-400....it says so on the label... Wink

...and my little Cessna 150 Aerobat is partly dismantled and stowed in the luggage area of my 737...It goes with me, everywhere... Kiss

When I landed at Phoenix Sky Harbour Airport, I was very grateful for the Progressive Taxi Markings on the taxiway to lead me through the complicated route to the Gates!... Roll Eyes

Great shot Paul. Wink

You don't fool us. We know that you have your Aerobat's prop sitting in the right seat.

And that you replaced the Boeing badge with a Cessna one. Grin

I know...I know... Embarrassed

...!

But every now and again I suffer a brain storm, with the overwhelming desire to take my passengers on a trip in something somewhat faster than my usual Beech Baron 58... Smiley

...!

...and zipping along nicely at 330 knots is somewhat faster with my Boeing 737-400, rather than cruising at 180 knots in my trusty Beech Baron 58!... Cheesy

...!

Paul...for those rare occasions when we are in a bit of a hurry to get there!... Smiley

I must admit that, even though I have had FSX since it was first released, I have an overwhelming soft spot for FS 2004, (since using FS '98, FS 2000, and FS 2002), with all its wealth of Freeware and Payware add-ons, etc, and the way it is programmed, with it useful drop-down Menu giving instant access to everything on the fly, means that it runs smoothly on my old 2005 Dell 5000 Dimension Tower PC with everything maxed, and results in daily enjoyment... Kiss

...!
I occasionally give my FSX a try, but it doesn't instil the same sense of satisfaction that my trusty FS 2004 gives me, every time I fire it up!

Paul...FS 2004...FS Navigator..and a really big grin!... Smiley
