I was browsing the BFU (Bush FLying Unlimited) site to find a nice bit of scenery for the screenshot contest, when I found BFU North. I thought that this would be the perfect place, and then I saw the text that says '...legend has it a 737 landed here...'

Time to prove that!


On a final approach. I found this was almost like a carrier landing, as I kept turning on the final.


Touchdown. I'm thinking whether this is going to work; last attempt I had to go-around. This time, I used parking brakes instead of normal brakes. Time to say goodbye to tires!!


Nearly at the end of the runway....note my speed.....stop, damn you.....stop........


Passing a little shed.......this is going to be close.....


The end of the runway loomed closer....I was sure I would overshoot, but there wasnt enough runway for a go-around......! 52KIAS left.....


My god.....I've stopped.........with lenght to park another 737 in front of me!!!!! I dont beleive it!!!!

Thanks for looking!  ;D
P.S Next, I'll try it in a 747!!!

Hahaha this one is really fun !
I have to test those BFU sceneries, but I can't find the courage to download them one by one... isn't there a scenery pack to download them all at a time ?

That's great, CSpyro... well done! You got da skillz!

I don't know about that but I'd imagine it would say on their website. I wondered that about Project AI, why you had to download every one seperately, such a nightmare, it made me literally physically sick at one point. Then I figured it out. Their one-shot download is called....Ultimate Traffic. Aha.

Very nice landing, good job!

I don't think there is a scenery pack.  But its worth downloading them coz they are beautiful sceneries

lol

Cheers people!

By the way Daube, there isn't a scenery pack, but underneath the airstrip download it gives you all the links you need. If you have a system better than mine (which is ok, I suppose) then the downloads are rather quick and worth it.
Daubr,I would download them, I felt like you at one stage but then my motto came into my head:

"If you're unsure, do it."

Nice work cspyro, now switch yer engines off - i'm trying to sleep!!



TSC.

LOL!!!
I suppose youre based at BFU north? If so, I'm trying to take off, but it never works, so my 737 is staying here for the night.
Cheers my friend  ;)

Actually I base myself at Hanks, see my sig.

Cheers,

TSC.

Ah, time to land my 737 at Hanks....expect me in half an hour.

I think it's time for me to transfer to another BFU base

Esselbach, youre at hanks too?

Uh........

Ok, I'll stay where I am.  ;D
Cheers  ;)

Ah c'mon bring the 737 down - we need a good laugh in the Pot 'o Gold!!

Just remember to get here at 9pm sharp for the fireworks!!

Cheers,

TSC.

Nice work, but...

full manual breaking is actually stronger (and safer! ) than the parking brake

Fireworks??
Put them away.
I'm sure that me crashing a 737 at Hanks is going to be enough fireworks for you.

Beefhole - I never knew that!! I must go and retry using normal brake.

P.S. I've tried to land a 744 there - no success. I've always overshot the runway...  :(
