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

Bob,

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

Couldn't pass it up. Here is my new cargo hauler:

I have not flown it yet, but I could not pass up that deal ether

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.

Should have gotten the pax version for $45...I just updated it and have the cargo version now as well

I have both now for $65. Still a good deal!

[Sean McConnell WWA659]

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).
