Thanks for the tip, Garry. I've picked up the 400 paint. Here it is at Nassau after a nice little hop from Freeport. Much as I love the Budgie, this canary saved me enough time on the journey to make a bacon sandwich :lol:

Oooh! I'd forgotten they did Florida and New England as well. Thanks, Leif - I'll get them too. BTW - did you notice that I followed your other bit of advice about the HTAI Cessna package? Doesn't it make a difference to have GA stuff everywhere you go? It's excellent value at $15! I see they're working on a Piper package as well :)

Tony - I know, I know. It takes me a while, but I get there in the end :roll:

Ian :lol:

The HTAI stuff is great isn't it.. PROPER AI ;-) I had a look at the poly count on the baby Cessnas a while back and they're about a 3rd of the size of one of Ricks pilot figures! :o :lol: About 900 poly's all in if I remember as opposed to 3000 poly's for said 3D pilot! :D

best 12 bucks I've spent in a long time Ian

If I was to complain - the only thing I would say is UT seems to want to populate ALOT of Cessna 195s in the UK!

I find for Glacier bay and the rest of Alaska it gives you a really good mix.

I suppose it had to happen! A Budgie at Kai Tak :roll: I couldn't find a suitable paint so I figured the RAF might have put one in at some stage ...
I got a bit carried away on approach and forgot to tell the tower I was coming in :$ I thought that Pan Am was holding for me - but it was the Lufthansa DC10 behind me so I've got a wee bit of explaining to do :worried:

OK - this is definitely it for Budgie pics for a while :lol: I had to try it out at in my favourite haunts, so here we are taxying in to stand 43 on a rainy bank holiday in Manchester (in rather exalted company!). And the weather's not too good at Skagway either, so we're heading back to our base in Whitehorse!
