Here’s my use of the this very informative tutorial….

I know it isn’t aviation related but it’s my other interest. Now I just have to get a decent looking livery on it. 🙂 Thanks for the thread!!

I’m having trouble making the “block” layer. I use the magic wand and select outside of the object but I can’t seem to get it to create a layer of just that portion.

A local Tele-Evangilist here just bought a 747SP so he can ferry his ministry to Africa a few times each year. The nearby airport doesn’t have ramp space for it so it’s being parked on the approach end of one of their runways. Makes you think twice about giving on Sunday when the preacher is buying a freakin’ 747.

2 problems with this: 1. The right side of the aircraft the “arrow” points to the Northeast as it only mirrors the left side of the aircraft. So much for it representing Northwest. 2. Most folks younger than about 35 can’t shake the NWA reference.

I still the old livery was outstanding especially on the 757.

Great pics + nice weather. 🙂

He’s on the BBC news website (video) go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and click on ‘watch BBC news in video’ at the top, one of the videos to watch is
‘British teenager launches own airline

It’s no longer listed but you can still find it by doing a search on “airline”, it’s the first item listed then.

Very nice report and again, best of luck.

BTW, do you all realize you have accents? 😉

You can take a windscreen out of a scrapped 707 or 727 and fit it into a brand new 737NG is you so wish!

Careful, just because something fits doesn’t mean it’s compatible. Unless the “powers that be” sign off on parts being used interchangebly between manufacturer types then they can’t be mixed no matter how simple the part.

Our windows have a placard that states it may be used for both the EMB-120 and 145. I’m not saying that Boeing didn’t bother to cross-certify parts but I’d be hesitant to assume that parts from a 40 year old Boeing are permitted to fit a 4 year old Boeing. Boeing probably didn’t even bother with such certification knowing that no operator would have a fleet that incompassed both the 707/727 and the newer 737NG or 777. Even if they did have both it probably wouldn’t be for very long (ie Continental phased out the 727’s as the 777’s came online).

I don’t know how the system works. My fingerprints are on perminant file with the TSA (lucky me) as well as them have 2 pictures on record. Being on a different side of the line I’m unaware of what the average passenger goes through.
