simply stunning shots but ISB airport looks weird in those shots, don't you have the ISB scenery from flightsimpakistan.com?? its basic but is close to accurate.

i just love the quality of the pics, they look too good yaar, the weather and theme.

Great aircraft! What is needed now are some high tech airports in Pakistan to show off!

Thanks for the comments.
No Mohsin, I did download that scenery, but the buildings looked kinda strange greyish and the AFCAD was putting planes in wierd places so i thought this was better.
Agreed PK777, fingers crossed for new Isloo airport!

Thanks Abdulaziz and AP-BGL for appreciating.....
Abdulaziz I'd say that the bad weather, combined with the fuel and payload forced a slower than usual climb....but I wouldnt say it was significantly slow...
