I was flying to KMDW the other night in my Fokker 100 and could see an AI in
the distance. I could also see I was gaining on it ever so slightly. I
assume we were on the same high altitude jetway. I quickly started Snapper
and caught a few good shots as I approached Landmark 647 just prior to my
descent. The AI labels showed the destination of the AI aircraft to be
KORD. Let's see if this link works. http://tinyurl.com/f6y2p

Pilot defected to the good ole USA!! I bought it using FSPassengers. I
don't want to sell it just to get a U. S. version 'cause the sell price is
too low compared to what I have to pay for another version, and a Fokker in
a different dress, flies no better. Besides, I like the color.

As a matter of interest, British Midland or bmi British Midland as they're
now known are the second largest operator at London Heathrow after British
Airways. They started in the late 70s as a small regional airline at what is
now Nottingham East Midlands airport, hence the Midland in their name and
now have a huge fleet including A340s and fly all over the world. :-)
