Thank You!
I tried converting the AI bird, but it has airstairs and when you raise the gear, the airstrairs lower (?)
One question - why did Lake Central birds always look so dingy? I can't recall ever seeing one that looked clean.

I can't recall ever seeing one that looked clean. That, and the air around Toledo, Cleveland, Erie, Detroit, Pittsburgh, etc., was full of pollutants, that made a lot of planes look grundgy. Also it was not that long ago Airports realized that regular road salt was destroying the lightweight metals in aircraft. At KPDX & KSEA you have to get any salt you use on the AOA from the Port themselves. You will be fined heavily if you use your own salt. |

Come to think of it, usually my air travel was coming home on Christmas leave, so it was O'Hare and Detroit in December & January neither of which is lovely in Winter
