Buenos Aires to Paris...Air France 777-200ER

Finally back in a 777.  I was tired of 747s and 767s so even though a Meljet model is overkilll on this system I decided to fly one anyway.  And to my surprise it wasn't to bad on the fps.  Even though inside the cockpit I would get 25 fps but outside views were more like 10-12 :-[

Really needed to get back to flying for Air France so I found a flight direct to Paris from Buenos Aires.  

Around 18:15 as we roar into the sky...Feeling the power of those GE-90s...

Climbing out.  Got a little bumpy but smoothed out above FL170.
Image
39,000 feet and cruising into the night.  ETA is 11:05.
Image
Its been a long flight so far...but soon to end as we cross the Spanish border into France.
Image
almost 13 hours since we took off we are ready to leave our mark on CDG's 8L.
Image
Bringing her to a taxi speed.  Welcome to Paris!
Image
Only 4 minutes late...After arriving at the gate and unloading it was time for a little engine maintenance before her next flight.

Not sure where i will end up next...I had planned on going to London insted of Paris but there was no direct flight from EZE and I didn't feel like flight back to GRU ;)

Thanks :)

Still not sure as to where i want to go now.  Thinking of taking a trip to Houston tonight.  Want to eventualy get back to Fort Wayne for a change ;)

So look for more shots in the next couple days.  If i do head west then I'll be flying a Continental 777 ;)  Might even hang around Houston for awhile and fly to some smaller cities.  Get away from heavy birds...need a break from long hauls ::)

The only thing I dont like about the meljet models is half the cockpit seems to be missing...is this normal ???

I dont know what to tell you Fly In...is it the default panel or a freeware download ???

I tend to stick to the default 777 panel because of frame rate hits i get with downloaded panels.  I want my landing to be as smooth as possible when gliding in.  But i dont have any problem with the default panels.  Or there has been one case where it looked like the default panel but someone removed a few gauges.  Just delete that one and put in the origional to fix that problem ;)
