Hi everyone, I'm looking to earn a little money on the side and wanted to pass my ideas by you to see if you think they're feasable or if I'm just dreaming. My plan was to sell each of these on EBay. The first idea I had was to build custom made airliner "fin flashes". Essentially, these would be wo...

I dont know how to do that, but why would you want to? I think it's fantastic flying along and seeing random airstrips out my window and then going to the map to see what they are. I can see removing the generic airlines (too bad that also removes the GenAv as well), but the small airfields add char...
