Lovely pictures of the 787-10, pmplayer and also this artistic livery...! That last shot of the entrance/gateway structure, at Bali Airport, looks quite unique... (thanks for sharing...) ....

Yes, Jack, life gets in the way, as they say.... I recall looking out, from atop the summit of Cadillac Mountain....at the sunrise, across the seas, and the pristinely blue waters of the lakes thousands of feet down below ...and saying to myself (and my better half...🙂...) ...Here is a place we must visit one more time...but it has not materialized so far... (btw, a couple of the lakes near the Mountain can be clearly seen in your pictures, above, the biggest one being Eagle Lake) ... Looks like, Bangor International would be the Airport to get in quickly into this area...by air...serviced by all the 3 Majors... Cheers ...!!

A wonderful set of pictures from and between these two (major) airports...you've made good use of the add-on sceneries, Will... Liked the (approach) shots with the lead-in (guidance) lighting system details into KJFK Runway... I was intrigued by that Constellation in front of the TWA Terminal...That's the Connie Cocktail Lounge...🙂..."A Cozy bar set in a 60-year-old airplane serving vintage cocktails & snacks, with cockpit access...", and named "...one of the best hotel bars in the world by Departures..."...Oh well...should be worth visiting once...if not for anything at least as an aviation fan...🙂...

Beautiful pictures of this remarkably scenic (and mountainous) airport...and its vicinity.... (Do recall seeing videos of its extremely challenging RWY approaches) ...!!

Wonderful series of shots of this plane, and enjoyable commentary bits to boot...Ryan... Though, a few (here) might not agree with below....🙂.... I know this a/c is not slow, and looks pretty too, but surely cannot take you on a 15-hr non-stop hop across the oceans...🙂... Anyway, it looks like a great catch for enjoying VFR flights in MSFS....thanks for sharing your experience...!!

Fantastic images of the Southwest (Heart Two) Livery, Will....Loved them all...!! Thanks also for showing/selecting Midway...It has been years since I have visited that airport but do recall many Southwest flights off/into that airport...only a few actually flying myself, but mostly dropping off or picking up friends and relatives...The top of the Parking garage there allowed great view of the takeoff/landing plane activity on the runways... BTW, Will, I was just now looking into a YT video of the (RW) N8645A that you've shown here, from its very first Revenue Flight (From Dallas to Burbank) ...One of the comments below the video says, "...I was on that flight...it had that "new plane" smell..."...🙂... Please search for "Southwest Airlines New Livery "Heart Two" First Revenue Flight into BUR!"...if you wish to see it... Cheers ...!!

Thanks for bringing back the Queen here, pmplayer.... lovely set...!!

Beautiful and varied set of images, Darryl...from the Embraer to the Dreamliner...all in the United colors...!!

Wonderful capture, filou, of sunlight playing hide and seek in the clouds and the mountains...🙂....!!

Yes, Aharon, indeed, sounds like, you're in command of a Very Very Very Very important mission ...🙂 ... Great to see the red and yellow colors of the historic Royal Mail... (nice pics) ...!

Wow...Jack...To Acadia in a Virgin Blue...🙂.... beats my ~15-hour road trip from Columbus (OH) to Bar Harbor (ME) in a Rental Ford....🙂... Seriously, lovely pictures, you've captured, here, of this National Park...tucked away in the Northeastern Atlantic coastlines, and probably not getting as much publicity as the PNW, but equally beautiful .... I had stayed 3 days in Bar Harbor, and clearly recall the scenic roadway up to the highest point atop the Cadillac Mountain on one of the mornings...this is no Rockies, but, nonetheless, superbly picturesque, with my favorite combination of lakes, seas, and mountains...all together in one place...btw, Jack, that summit is the highest point on the eastern seaboard of U.S....wonderful place to catch the earliest rays of sunlight of the day...(in your set, I'm guessing, the Mountain could be in the last but one or last but two shots)... Thanks for these images from your tour/detour ...! Your series of explorations of Maine's coastlines, are admirably thorough... 🙂...

...🙂...Please take your time, Jack. No hurry at all... Good week to you... Cheers...!!

Glad you're enjoying the Big Radials...! Recall well that Brian Gladden's Noorduyn Norseman model...it was always one of my favorites.... Lovely pictures of the timeless classic, here...!

Fantastic pics.... Will...with stunning close-up shots of the Alaska 738...! I like it when the (user)-name matches the plane....🙂...mine was 787-8, never got tired of flying the QW 787-8...🙂...

Lovely 2-part series, so far, into Portland, Maine...Jack...! One of the longest (round-trip) road-trips (with one en-route stop-over each way...) I'd made (in much younger days, of course...🙂...) was from Columbus (OH) to Portland (ME), with the final destination "Acadia National Park", such an enchantingly beautiful place of lakes, seas, and rocky mountains... Not sure, Jack, where (how far up north) you're heading along the northeastern coast...in your exciting adventure, here... but, if time permits, could you swing by (in the comfort of your Piper Warrior...🙂...) ...for an aerial tour of the "Acadia National Park"...? It's near the Bayside town of Bar Harbor....BTW, absolutely not mandatory, Jack...but, I'm just curious how it looks in MSFS....you might like the detour too...Portland to Bar Harbor is showing up as ~200 miles on I-295/I-95, but in the sky, it would be much shorter, I presume... Cheers..!
