I don't know if I would call that textbook... he did a good job, but he seemed more concerned with saving his propellors/engines than landing the airplane safely.

Jump to postI gave it a re-edit, just to adjust the saturation and not oversharpen it. My next question is, do you all think that its good enough to upload at 1600px wide?
