Bob,
You must have gotten it for half price since two of the engines are missing.

Are you referring to my signature photo Boeing 757-200F?

Handles nice! Feels heavy, as it should. I was going to buy the International passenger version back when it was available for $45, but the reviews were not very good. This version 2.2 has had better reviews, and SSG says they are continuing work on it. I got quite a few flights in it this week. I'm also studying the manual which is quite extensive.

Yes, when you purchase the passenger version you get the freighter also now. They are one package. It was still on the sale price when I got it.

Just FYI there's a good chance the SSG 747-8 (Freighter and Pax) will be painted this weekend. It's been a while but I hope it's worth the weight (pun intended).
