Awesome awesome awesome....absolutely loved the pictures. Especially seeing some of those instruments in real life use. Who says you can't learn something from a simulator? More pictures when you have them!
Guest 27-Jul-2006 08:20
Very nice gallery!
I should try to do the same, for now I'm recreating detailed panels of a B737-400.
You can see those at www.paolodeangelis.com
Thanks for the nice trip to Cancun

Jorge, muchas gracias por el viaje, esta muy padre!! Tu sabes, siempre hay esa curiosidad por ver el viaje desde la cabina de pilotos. Por mi trabajo, he viajado frecuentemente de Veracruz a Mexico y ahi tengo algunas fotos pero desde la ventanilla de pasajero.
Gracias de nuevo por este tour!!
Guest 11-Feb-2006 05:55
Very nice and interesting gallery of pictures - thanks for sharing.
Edmund Brown 02-Feb-2006 00:35
Tell you what, I would give anything to be in that in that seat. The love of joy was flying in that seat in earlier years,but as you get older with heart problems all you do now is dream of the past while looking at aircrafts around you. ,on the ground and in the air above you.
These are GREAT PICTURES!!!!!!
Guest 01-Feb-2006 21:56
