It was just Sunday that I left the area down there, quite a shock, when I read the news the other night.

It's a beautiful aircraft visually and is certainly a standard in recent years. I'm just kind of thinking I should finish some of my other projects first :-). But...if someone is intetrested in configuring an FDM (which takes some time to do right) I'll start a 3D model. I really can't take on both right now.

The B1900 is still nowhere :-) There is a FDM (needs tweaking) and a 3D model with animations. I do have some audio somewhere, and since it has a glass cockpit it can reuse much of Jim's 747 cockpit.

It is possible during one of several layovers in Keflavic. But I can't swear to it. I remember seeing some twins about that size, but didn't know what they were. The truth is I've been crazy about aircraft since I was five years old and think they are _all_ really neat in their own way.
