She Is So.....

Photogenic!  ;D

I recently posted some shots of this monster leaving London's Heathrow and a few others from KLAX!  Her fuselage is all banged up and I was calling her, "An old dirty beast". Well she proved me wrong last night as I flew her down the glide scope and through some rather rough weather. After clearing the thunder clouds, this "monster" presented itself in all her beauty. She was begging for me to take her picture!

Entering the thunder clouds.

After some bumps, the clouds break for an interesting view.

The pink clouds make for a beautiful back drop.

Lined up and cleared for final.

A shot taken by some locals watching the huge jet descend from the clouds.

A unique angle as this majestic bird touches down.

Hope you liked!
Oh and Mark,
I wouldn't let her hear you call her an old "rusbucket" again..........she said she can fit allot of marmalade in her belly!  ;D   ;D

everybody say after me:
glide SLOPE, glide SLOPE, gliiiide SLOOOOOOPE.

It's a SLOPE, not a SCOPE, scope's are for submariners and they are totally the opposite of pilots, and we don't want anything to do with them :D
Pinkish color theme, watching too much Miami Vice me think, where's the topless FA's?   ???

And shame on you for calling her various names, even though the 744 looks like an aircraft on steroids  ::)
;D

That's nice.  It get's real old seeing plane after plane in perfect pristine condition.  I like to see some wear on my planes for a bit of realism.  Especially a tub like that one.  When is the last time you saw a C152 looking like it just came out of the showroom?  They're scratched up, beat up, dirty, paint peeling little slugs and I love 'em...

HA ha Paul, I fly some of those little GA's around. I seem to bounce back and forth. Big...small...big....small!  ;D
Did you see my post on "Spinning Blades"? Give me a GA aircraft with good flight dynamics and a great VC, and you will always find me in Alaska frightening the local Eskimos! The only great Ga I have found that will measure up is The Aero Commander!

i love that air india livery,although it has that "dirty" look, but that just adds some realism to it.
