SAPP comes to town...or how to visit on a wing and a prayer
« on: August 06, 2010, 01:53:02 AM »
I finally had a chance to drop in and visit one of the new towns and I must say i was impressed.  I thought in the hopes of inspiring others to take the time and see the sights, that I would post some pictures of my visit.

Clearly from the air, things look nice.  With no fuel left, the town looks even better, in particular the road


I made sure to do everything I could to stay off the finely manicured grass, lining up nicely on the road.


Clearly HTC needs to invest in road maintenance as I did seem to find a pothole.


I found the street signs to be a problem so I bounced over them.  Sadly I didn't take into account the big tree.
I hope there is no fine for scratching it.



Thankfully the town buildings are built well as I didn't leave a mark when I left much of my 38 behind.


I then spotted a restaurant and decided I was hungry.


It was then time to find a place to park.


Things were quiet so I parked across the street


I figured I'd stop in at church afterwards to give thanks for another landing I walked away from

What no fire, both props are intact, and you're plane is right side up.  :neener:

Really I was expecting more from you. :cheers:

Might as well just start watching the travel channel.   :noid

Clearly the restaurant needs valet parking.

Dan...

The skytrains made it in last night. The new blenders were on board. Have your crew chief send over someone to get yours.

I contacted everyone else already. I figured here is the best way to contact you since your usuall laying in a field somewhere.
