Quoting granite (Reply 197): Took my Pan Am A300 for a quick flight over Reunion earlier today

The Pan Am Airbuses fascinate me, I always associate American built aircraft with PA, the Airbuses wear that dress well I think! Great picture.

Gary for the longest time (whilst lurking), i've been in awe of your fantastic screenies.

Excellent as always.

Hi all

Thanks GingerSnap  

Aerdingus, yes the Airbus look great in that livery. Were Pan Am not one of the first airline to order the A320? Bet they would have looked good in that livery.

Gary

Finally managed to get FS back up and running. Not got most of my addons in yet, but I thought i'd do a couple of 'testers' to see how it looked.

Purchased the Wilco E-Jets v.2 just before I had problems, so I was eager to get in and take a spin.


AC E175 on an initial climb-out.


Left turn, heading towards the coast and then up to YVR


I love this livery on the E195 for whatever reason.

However, I had also just got hold of this baby...so I decided to take a quick spin...


Nice steep climb thanks to the 'rollers'


Up, up and away.

Thanks   
Matt

Fking-A that's a nice shot! Outstanding detail.
After you land, head over to the parking structure across from terminal 6 then take the elevator up to the heliport. I'll be waiting in the A-350B-3.

Quoting aerdingus (Reply 192): possibly the funniest damn thing

"funny", I dunno. "damn thing", definitely.

Quoting CamiloA380 (Reply 193): Here comes more.

Tell me, what's the ramp rat in the last screenie doing with his left hand?

Quoting aerdingus (Reply 194): Ooooh love the TP A340! Nice one

Quoting aerdingus (Reply 195): Beautiful Air China 737 (Peacock)

Now, what shoes should I wear to go with that livery?
Ya know guys, Aer-D always brings outstanding variety and color to these threads.

Quoting GingerSnap (Reply 203): Nice steep climb thanks to the 'rollers'

You learn quick, new kid. L-1011 screenies are preferred 2 to 1 over the leading brand.

Not going to be doing much of that for a little while I'm afraid due to events downhere.

Wow...nice!! I had a feeling Kevin was going to like that picture...

Quoting KevinL1011 (Reply 204): You learn quick, new kid. L-1011 screenies are preferred 2 to 1 over the leading brand.

...and I was right. Now...4 out of 5 dentists prefer pictures of a UA 747-400 in the old white - orange/red/blue colors. For example: (it's an SP, not a -400 but you get the idea)

Quoting THEBATMAN (Reply 206): UA 747-400 in the old white - orange/red/blue colors

Ok, now that I'm at the right computer, I can bring up the right pictures...the best livery UA ever had, IMHO.

Oh Boy! your cred around these creds had just increased 100%, they all seem to love the good ole TriStar.

More Swiss from me coming up soon, I am off my favourite city and airport in FS... Istambul.

Holy Richter scale! I hope everything is OK .

EDICHC i'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope things pick up, and you can feel happier sooner rather than later.

Did a quick flight from GLA to MAN this afternoon in an E135.

Which scenery is that?
Very nice aircraft also...the Wilco CRJ I believe?

Quoting Luftfahrer (Reply 212): Excellent shots Gary... especially the first one! -- Arriving in Upstate NY

Nice! Looks like BUF ?

Ah yes, FlyTampa's KBUF. Looks really nice and i'm sure i'll purchase it soon.

Quoting GingerSnap (Reply 210): EDICHC i'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope things pick up, and you can feel happier sooner rather than later.

Thanks GS, I'm not too badly affected by the quake, but if you look at my profile you will see why I have been so busy and now I am just bloody exhausted.

Quoting KevinL1011 (Reply 209): Holy Richter scale! I hope everything is OK .

Not too bad mate, like I said I'm just dog tired, day off tomorrow will probably sleep most of it.

Thanks!

Indeed, it's FlyTampas newly-released BUF scenery, and the Wilco CRJ.

Great thread with even more fantastic shots!

You can get away with it flying that ship. It's one of my favs for that reason. Old guys like me prefer flying forgiving airplanes. Nice screenies too!

Quoting granite (Reply 211): Last two for the weekend

Awwwww, dang it Granite. That PSA L-ten is beautiful. I tried to get that texture to work w/ FSX for some time. I consider my inability to fly on either of the PSA L-1011s' a major screw up. At the time, I avoided LAX due to the construction mess that was happening back then. Those TriStars were specially modified with lower deck seating where the fwd. galley would have been.

Quoting Cro55fire (Reply 218): Great thread with even more fantastic shots! My contribution to flightsimmer community

OK new kid. Not good to post fantastic screenies right away. You don't want to make the rest of us look bad right off the start.
However.....Welcome!

Quoting United_fan (Reply 223):

That's what I'm talking about. Love your A-busses all you want, but the AK 737's have more leg room and are much comfy-er than the competition. They make for nice screenies too.

Quoting EDICHC (Reply 216): if you look at my profile you will see why I have been so busy and now I am just bloody exhausted.

What a sacrifice to leave your own family and help others. God bless you Adian.

Nice! I remember seeing one of those at the Ft Lauderdale Air Show (or Festival, can't remember) a few years ago, it did a fly-by then dissapeared.... nothing happened for a few minutes, suddenly it came out of nowhere at full blast!! KA-BOOOM

Keep up the hard work, and try not to get overwhelmed with the devastation of such a large earthquake.

Okay, just a couple of screenshots from me - I'm pretty tired:


Racing a Panavia Tornado near the restricted test areas off the coast of Italy. The Tornado lost - very badly.  



Vortices rolling off the leading edges of the complex shaped wing. This is another of those very characteristic traits of Concorde.

Trying out another route from ACC. This time bound for ABV (Abuja, Nigeria).

First of all can I thank everyone for their kind thoughts and sentiments, you have no idea just how much it is appreciated. it just goes to prove what I have always thought...that this 'mini community' produces in these screenie threads, the best of A.net.

Last night I did my first FS flights since Saturday's earthquake. Now I make no claim that these following screenies are my best, far from it. No I wanted to do my own little FS tribute to the citizens of Christchurch and Canterbury region. I am not a native of the city, I'm not even an NZ citizen (yet) having migrated to NZ 4 years ago. Nevertheless I have been overwhelmed by the sense of fortitude and strength of character shown here in the past few days, so much so I will be very proud to call myself a Kiwi when I qualify for citizenship next year.

My pictorial tribute comprises each a/c type in the Air New Zealand fleet (except the ATR72 which I don't have in my fleet yet) pictured at either CHC/NZCH or at significant locations related to the earthquake.

First up Air NZ Link (Eagle Air) Beech 1900D taxiing past the Domestic Terminal at CHC (damaged in the quake)


Next Air NZ Link (Air Nelson) DeHavilliand Dash 8-300 turning onto taxiway D with the RNZ Flying Doctor Service hangar in the background.


Now the mainstay of the Air NZ domestic mainline fleet the venerable 737-300, climbing out after take-off from Rwy 02 with the backdrop of the City and the Port Hills.


A320 usually Trans-Tasman & Pacific Island services, banking and turning over the town of Kaiapoi just north of the city and badly affected by liquefaction damage.


767-200 Overflying the city district of Avonside, similarly affected as Kaiapoi.


777-200 tracking over the city's CBD still pretty much in closed off to the public.


747-400 crossing the Canterbury plain near the village of Darfield and the site of the epicentre.


Apologies if this seems a little self-indulgent but I just wanted to pay a little tribute to my fellow residents especially the unsung heroes of this time, the power and water workers who are working long, long hours to restore basic services, yet never get the recognition that those of us in the emergency services get.

Quoting EDICHC (Reply 236):

No sign of self indulgence from where i'm sitting sir!

A fitting tribute to a strong and charismatic nation. I'm sure everyone here appreciates the fact you've taken time out of such a tragic situation, to show your love for your adopted home nation.
I wish you & NZ all the best as you recover from such a horrible event.

Quoting Cro55fire (Reply 232): Is that Concorde X? What's better than cruising at Mach 2...probably nothing

Yes, it is. I'd just flown over Europe and cleared the coast of Italy and started to accelerate through M1.0. At that point I was probably doing going through M1.3 and climbing quite quickly.

That's a nice screenie. Nothing fancy, not a bunch of add-ons, just a very nice clean shot. Good lighting, angle and framing. It'd make a great poster.

Aidan, you are one of them. I read your posts in the non-av thread and you never let on to your profession. You simply reported the facts. I know that an event like this requires emergency responce from all medical professionals within at least 50 miles. You are within 15mi.

Quoting cpd (Reply 238): Great screenshots

   And a beautiful tribute to people of New Zealand.

Quoting cpd (Reply 238):

Nice, was thinking of buying Concorde X but rather chose the fresher Airbus X. With which, by the way, I decided to chase some storms yesterday. Winds from 20-30 knots, rapidly changing directions, great fun in FS, not so in reality.  
Some unedited pics...just EMB light effect, which is amazing.
