Default American Airlines LGA

I posted this before, but got a better camera and replaced the Herpa jetways with the new GJ jetways..........

Just a question, would you ever see a NG Wing-letted AA 737 at the same airport as an AA DC10?

Yep, I call "NAILED"!! Interesting note, when AA started DC-10 service to LGA, the existing jetways were not tall enough to rise up to the 10's door. A weird little extension/ramp was added in between the jetway and the boarding door of the DC-10. See Photo:

Great job! The detail is amazing. Where did you get the hanger? Did you customize it?

That is a wonderful AA rendition of LGA Airport. What about doing other airlines and even Delta's Marine Air Terminal for your airport?

Hi Steve,
Could you tell me what did you use for the yellow line on the tarmac? I normally use yellow line tape, if there is a yellow marker I can use, that would be a great help. Let me know. Thanks!

The "mat" was all hand made and the yellow lines were painted on using Testors flat yellow.
