So is that the one that came out in 2006?

How good of a system do you need to run it then, I'd imagine anything from the last couple years could easily run something from 7years ago?

You should look at X-Plane too...while there aren't as many add-ons, it's getting better and better, and lots of incredible aircraft. It's quite a realistic sim as well.

So... Is that better than CTRL-ALT-A in Google Earth?

So...boss!

I've always been curious as to why even on the routes using those Dash-8 (300?), you still get old grizzly captains. Why haven't they climbed to left seat on any of the US Airways Boeing planes?

Voted. Though I gotta admit that the photo of the P51 was incredible.

Yeah it's awesome, however I have doubts that the person that submitted it took the photo as they call it a P-51, when it is a B-17 bomber. No self respecting avgeek would ever make such a huge mistake.

I thought there was something not quite right about that.

I guess I was the only one who thought this was strictly a YYC (as in the airport) photo competition?

Anyone know what you win for this contest? My photo has made it into the final 10 as well, (The Maho Beach photo) but cannot see what the winner gets.

You guys obviously don't respect how rare it is to capture a photo of a 4 engined P-51....

Good question, I'm not sure what we get (if anything). E-peen?
