TAM Flight 282 - St. Maarten - Los Angeles
Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2009 6:06 pmSo, I finally decided to take the Project Opensky 777-300ER model out for a real flight, and what better model to do it in than the GE90 one?
Heavy takeoff out of St. Maarten. Lovely purple sky.
Cruising over the Atlantic (I've seen enough of it for my entire life
) at Flight Level 380. Sun is about to rise.
Descending over the United States. Just passed Glendale.
And finally, after 8 hours in the air, this 777-300ER slows down on runway 7R at Los Angeles International.
Parked at the gate, deboarding next to a Delta 757 and an Alaska 737.
Next flight: Los Angeles - Kingsford Smith. Qantas A380 all the way
And I finally decided on my plane usages:
Los Angeles - Kingsford Smith: Qantas A380-800
Kingsford Smith - Hong Kong Chep Lap Kok: Cathay Pacific 747-400
Hong Kong Chep Lap Kok - Stockholm Arlanda: Scandinavian A340-300
Stockholm Arlanda - London Gatwick: British Airways 757-200.
Will NOT be finished before eastern is over though.
Total flight time now: 18 hours.
