An-225's Australian Soaring Excursion
Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2006 6:33 amGotta love that new DG808S glider! 8)
Parked after landing at Cooma Snowy Mountains:
In a thermal gaining alt at YAYE (closest airport to Ayers Rock):
Soaring over (well near) Ayers Rock:
Beautiful blue skies over YAYE!
Comin in to land at YAYE! Good .6 hours of flying time in various thermals near YAYE.
Oh Cana...I mean Australia...
Front view...
Parked about to open the canopy...
And... yes got it open!
All in all a very nice flight! FSX got me hooked on soaring...
Doesnt look like the compression REALLY took an effect on my screenshots... Thats what they look like with AA turned up to 4x. At last no more black screens in the aircraft select area!
Comin soon to a forum near you: An-225's African Adventure. Real life pics of the An-124 taken by me. And some more soaring pics, this time demonstrating wing-flex. Going to give it some time so as not to waste forum bandwith. :)
