Nice early moring flight along the coast,
OPPS! that's a strange place for a board
walk, missed it though. ;D

Image

Well! here's the marina, look at all those people!
Better go under it, don't want to scare anyone. ::)

Image

Here we go! :o

Image

Darn it!!! Prop Strike!!! Killed the engines!!!

Image

Get some hight, try to restart. Well that didn't
work. ???

Image

Look around here, well, half the gauges don't  work,
and I wish the other half didn't :P
No Hyd. pressure= no landing gear!
275', 175knts. I can go about TWO MILES!
Look about for a landing spot, nice beach
Check equipment, Fire extinguisher, whats that
tag say? "Use before Aug. 1945", Oh well,
Half a Dr. Pepper, one Peanutbutter and jelly
sandwich, two smokes and one Free airplane
wash coupon!!! May need that! ;)

Image

Soft and easy 8)

Image

I think I'll just sit here and eat my sandwich, and
pretend I planned it this way, besides Ozzy's going
to try this stupid stunt in a 747 later. He should be
landing along here some where shortly.
See what's on the radio,

Don't you just hate those damn prop strikes ?.....means you are landing.....no option at all..........well at least you could walk away from that smoking hulk that won't fly till you get some repairs done......... ::)

Like your story, especially,
Look about for a landing spot, nice beach
Check equipment, Fire extinguisher, whats that
tag say? "Use before Aug. 1945", Oh well,
Half a Dr. Pepper, one Peanutbutter and jelly
sandwich, two smokes and one Free airplane


As for waiting for Ozzy....you'll probably find him under one of those trees laying in a hammock sipping on a  fruity drink!!  ;)


PS: Did the fire extinguisher work?  ;D

Hi "x"...
Fantastic sequence of shots, very enjoyable... ;D...!
Well done...!

Have you tried installing the Terramesh scenery for San Francisco and Los Angeles...?
Covers the coastal area from above Santa Rosa down to L.A.
Realistic mountain scenery, etc,  for the area...!

Cheers mate... 8)...!

Oh well what can I say :P
I live in Northwest  Arkansas and
M$ got this part of the country
pretty close, Bland!!!

The Santa Monice stuff looks
better at 350 knt.s The ferris
wheel is antimated and there's
lots of stuff to fly around bridges,
smoke stacks and ships!!
