90th X-Plane.org fly-in (Maldives)

-return to picture archive-

 

An interesting enough fly-in at the Maldives with lots of people crowded on a medium-sized airport on a tiny island - V8 global scenery actually included the small islands, but the V7 crowd was understandably disappointed as the islands were below the resolution of V7 ENV scenery. After installing Ted Davis' temporary world objects package to get the default buildings to show up outside the US, I continued the tour from where I left off in Cairo. I was lucky enough to narrowly avoid disaster twice during this fly-in - both incidents should be easy enough to spot from the fly-in pics. And in case he's reading this, the other pilot involved in the second mishap should know who he is, even if I don't... :)
