 I love doing the tropical flights. Much better than the red eyes across the country. Usually get a day or two lay over also. Hope you like them, Cheers!

Great pics, And a nice landing,

I always find that I put my 747 down too hard because of too low a speed but still over-run the run way with all the stoppers on (Reverse thrusters, wheel brakes, full flaps + spoilers) What am I doing wrong? Sam

 Thanks guys!  Sam 400 as for landing it,  I have no trouble with it so I don't know what you are doing.  Here are the Vref speeds for this aircraft
VREF - Landing Approach Speed gear down   880,000 lbs (flaps 25)    188 KIAS
880,000 lbs (flaps 30)   181 KIAS

450,000 lbs (flaps 25) 134 KIAS
450,000 (flaps 30) 129 KIAS

I came in at about 650,000lbs so I approached at about 160kias with the auto brakes set at 2 and my spoilers armed of course.  The only thing I can think of is that may be you are not disengaging your auto throttle.  Hope this will help.  Cheers!

Why doesnt anyone show small planes like the baron at Juliana?  I like seeing the big ones, but it would be nice to have a change once in a while. ;D
