A change of scenery - Gatwicksteve - 04-16-2012
This month's assigned flights were a pleasant change of routine. The sectors were from LAX to Vancouver, then on to Billings, Montana and Minneapolis St Paul. I struggled to find a standard Tradewind liveried passenger jet in my library, so had to dry-lease a B737-800 from sister company TCA Venezuela
Taxiing out at LAX

Hi Steve.
Thank you once more for such great pictures. The TCA Venezuela paint scheme does look good. And the 'arty pictures' does look good as well. You may want to send this to the screenshot contest for April...?
