Comments: Now I could be naughty flying the arch enemy of my Virtual Airline, but really, I'm in Australia, so I need to fly Australian airlines to keep it real. I really wanted to fly my PMDG 737 on this new install of flight sim, so decided I'd use a fictional repaint of the 737-700 in Qantas colours. Qantas have the 737.. but it's actually the 800 series. But, who's gonna know :P Took a wee while to get it set up, as I was a little out of practice, but soon enough I was taxiing for departure. A wonderful aircraft to fly, it really is the pride of my hanger. Departed Cairns no problems and really enjoyed the views along the way to Brisbane. Had Tim online for some of the flight. Had a nice landing on runway 1 that I flew by hand.

Damn.. fuzzy edges (from resizing picture when I should have restarted comp first to free up some memory).. still a beauty..
What a beauty...
Mid descent.
Just before touchdown. Nose a bit high.. but a little out of practice in the PMDG.
