Ferrying the Phantom home pt 2

[Ghostrider114]

now I am bringing the phantom from wake to midway and from there on to Honolulu

here I am just after leaving wake:


This is a nice angle I got of the old girl, after breaking through the clouds in the first pic


Running on fumes I finally landed on Midway


again this is the Alphasim phantom

[Ghostrider114]

continuing my trip, here I am taking off from midway


the sun is setting and I am starting to notice the needle on my gas gauge hovering towards the red zone, I hope Ill make it


There goes the sun do-do-do-do (or: damn, my fuel is getting low, maybe I'll find somewhere to divert)


well my original plan was to go to Ford Is. so I could fly over PH for Pearl Harbor Day, but due to fuel issues I had to divert to Barking Sands on Kauai.


well if my math is right, that's all the room I have on this thread, so I'll start another for the last leg.

Nice shots. The Phantom is an awesome aircraft.

#2 is great but i would have liked it better with smoke coming out of the exhausts.

After all Phantoms are known to "drink, smoke and make noise"

there is, but you're right, there is hardly enough.

Hm... in that takeoff shot, why is the landing gear still down? When I see military jets fly, the retract the gear as soon as they get in the air. But I do love that night one with the moon!
