I have one of Chris's 747-400's as a static at NZCH (NZWN is too small for 747's)... my thoughts.... those that can; please create hi-def liveries.... those that can't.... grab the models edit the xml and find the local park positions for them and populate your part of the world!!! add skybridges if applicable and leave the terminals up to those that can!!!
