And I thought the Longitude was too big for this airport

[bofhlusr 453]

But I was shocked to see how small the Longitude (the red plane below) is compared to the airlines. And I was even more shocked to see how big a windmill really is.

 

Size comparison of 5 big planes in MSFS. From left to right: the Longitude, CJ4 (on the runway), A320, B787 and the 747.

A few of the ski mountains in the Northeast have windmills nearby. They're monstrous, from even a moderate distance.

Yep, a single blade can be well over a 100ft long. I've driven through a wind farm located on the plains in Colorado -- mighty impressive to say the least!

This is interesting.  I have never seen them side-by side before from an angle like this before.

I didn't realise the B787 was so big.  I always imagined it as halfway between the A320 and the B747.  It's definitely closer to the 747 in size.

I’ve always thought the 787 looked smaller than it is, I think the larger windows throw off the perspective for me.
