Cool Twotter approaches.

About to land at Lukla after playing around in the area.. Taking off at 18.000 ft+ is fun and hard!

Image

Approaching St. Barts.. really high so I needed to descend fast.

Image

Approaching London City airport.. this was the only landing that didn't turn out well. I was at around 130 knots on approach, and I needed to slow down fast, so I used reverse thrust, and I did it too much.. stalled at 50 knots and hit the runway at about 800 fpm.

Image

And a bonus shot.. I've started a loooong flight in the !!A319!!, nearly stretching it's limits (Range of the 319: 3,700 nm. Length of my Gatwick - Nairobi, Kenya flight: 3,660 nm.)
Taking off. This stupid Delta 767 was told to "taxi into position and hold" as I was cleared for takeoff.

Image

This will be fun (not for the passengers though - sitting 10-11 hours in a 319? :-/)

last picture.... where in the _____ was that delta going??? the runway is the other direction based on the 'overrun arrow' and the direction of the nose wheel and how it is turned.

Yea, this is the averageish-detailed Premier aircraft design version. You can find it at www.premaircraft.com->Aircraft Menu->FSX DHC6 Twin Otter under FSX->Choose whatever version you'd like.
