It is very lonely at 37,000 feet in the middle of the north Atlantic! Atleast it was a clear day.


The English coastline is in sight


About to touchdown at Gatwick


Welcome to London.... now get off the plane!

Great shots. I'll have to try a long flight like that myself one day.

So how long was the flight?

You call that long?

Try VHHH to EGLL, now THAT will train you well, dear aspiring insomniac.

Or maybe backwards, then continue on to Sydney. Call it a project, but do it all at once, or at least try.

(I think my minor insanity issues might be stirring right now.) 8-) :-/

*Leaves silently*

Was your landing that bad so you dint show a picture?

Kidding..
Nice shots I like the first one at 37,000 feet  ;)

nce shots but....
zoom is a large product placement for mazda! it's a zionest conspiracy!
 ;D  ;D  ;D

Ok, well maybe not the longest flight, but it was still around 11 hours. But I did cheat! haha. just used the map and placed the aircraft where I wanted it.

Actually, the landing on this flight was quite good.... just didnt get any good shots/angles of it.

You moved the aircraft with the map?


Try a 14 hour flight in a B-17 from San Francisco to Honolulu. No time compression, no GPS, and no map. I only used a compass, a primitive autopilot, and my Nav/Adf radios. All real time, and sitting at my computer.

Also, I recently flew from Washington to the Florida coast in a DC-4. The flight lasted almost 12 hours, and I only used my maps, compass, and my nav radios to navigate. I never once used the GPS, or the default map to see where I was. And once again, the flight was completed all real time while sitting at my computer

I couldent do that.. I wish I could..If I had a home cockpit...
Diffrent story  ;D

And I know your landing was probally good anyways..
Just a joke  ;)

I can manage half and hour or so on a short hop from one grass airstrip the next nearest one.....

..then I switch the Computer off, and go and do something useful...

...like mow the grass... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF.... ....!

great looking shots...the most i can probably get away with is about an hour-2 hour flight maybe....after that it runs the risk of frustrating my bride  :)

I struggle from Bristol to Filton and thats a couple of miles
if it wasnt for landing it would be the most dullest sim ever made
come to think of it what the hell have I doing since July 2003 :-?
god help you all who have been using this since  1982

Yea, I cant sit for more than maybe 2 hours on the computer. So thats why I just used the map to place the aircraft where I wanted it, took some shots, and moved on. I did of course fly the takeoff and landing legs on my own!

Your 767 made it all the way over their? Nice.

I love mowing the lawn  ;D..
but you forgot one thing....

Golfing  8-)
