Post by: fatty fat fat on April 06, 2009, 10:12:18 PM: lurker, wouldn't mind seeing the return flight. I highly doubt flights from Dallas will be leaving to MHK at 7 am. Prolly the other way around.

or how about an airbus 380 flying into MHK? :lol:

Can do the return flight tomorrow. Since we don't know the schedule yet I just figured that the flight would originate at DFW early in the day, fly to MHK then return to DFW. Will be fun trying to get into line to land back at DFW tomorrow :eek:

And no MHK buildings in the program. Only the larger airports like DFW have all their almost exact buildings in the program.

You can construct the buildings on your own, if you have the time and skillz. Always made me mad that none of Hawaii's airports outside of HNL were accurate.

it's almost like they have two different people naming these things. one funny person who comes up with funny/great names and one horrible person who comes up with 15 yr old girl names.

They are talking about pulling out the Denver flights or possibly trying to add an O'Hare flight. FWIW, either is really a longshot. O'hare would be so :love: though.

With an O'hare flight you could prolly just start calling it Manhattan INTERNATIONAL Airport
