Was bored today, so I took off from Area 51 and flew straight into heaven, where I suddenly saw this plane (far, far away of course). And  - who haven't already done it - I followed it and escorted it for a while!

Then I realised that it was a 777:



I think the passengers were a bit scared



Towerview from Area 51:



Finally the break-off:



The F-22 Raptor model is great! I've got much fun with it. The red text line in the over left corner is only activated when I'm flying military aircrafts. I need it for acceleration (always want to fly below 6 - 7 G's) and the fuel capacity.

I did not use any autopilot function to keep the a/c calm.

My only fear was that the 777 could suddenly make a hard right turn and the flight would be gone!

"Landmark 1123, you got military traffic on your 3 o'clock position. Roport them in sight!"

"Where??" *turning hardly right to have a better view*

*Craaaash*

"Eject eject eject!!"

"Ouups...  ::)"

Yeees, that's how professional airline pilots usually do in such circumstances...

At least those who auditioned for the "Airplane!" series  :P

Ah, the greatest movie about aviation ever... and the most trustworthy too. At least there they tried to make you laugh purposefully, instead of so many other self-important movies that are ridiculous just because they are. The last one a week or so ago; mid-air impact with a Cessna 310, plane intact beside the elevators that remain locked in ascent, a military chopper goes behind them (in complete disregard of any wake turbulence) and with a high caliber machine-gun shoots holes in the elevators to reduce the plane's ascent ratio.

I changed channel in disgust.

what channel was that?

i flew like that in the stratojet merlin once over a md-80 and the atc went nuts

I tend to get closer.  I did this last week.      http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1170145403

what channel was that?

An italian local TV channel. Really that movie was a bust.

I love this plane. It's actually a squadron at KLFI, and i've seen a plane from this squadron in a demonstration.

This plane is a delight to fly escorts in, ain't it?

Great shots!!!

Believe me, it really is. You know the game "F-22 Lightning 3"? I've lost it but I think I'll rebuy it.

F-22 lightning 3 was a fun game!

i always put it on mega load, as many AMRAAMs as possible, something like 14, 6 sidewinders, and then whatever bombs i needed on the last 2 pylons

LOL
That's exacly what I did too!

Very nice!

When I try to intercept another airplane, I fly the CORAL F-15 and I always end up blowing by it. I have used somebody's nice P-51 but the contact points are such that I get a collision at about 100 yards out...

It's funny because the Americans actually operated Migs out of Area 51 for exercies.  ;D

Nice shots.  ;)
