Hello Chums...

My latest acquisition, for those nostalgic Flying Boat flights of yesteryear (1939 - 1946).

The Boeing 314.

Just a couple of shots as I make my way from Commodore Centre (22CA Sausalito) to Long Beach (KLGB), following the Californian Pacific Coast with Highway 1 to my left.

A beautiful Trip with glorious scenery en-route!

Pimms No.1 served by the gorgeous Air Stewardess' in their smart Uniforms.

Close your eyes and it will take you back to those far-off days!... :-*...!

FS 2004.... ;)...

Over-flying Monterey Bay en-route to Santa Barbara...>>>

Note the Traffic on Highway 1 below!

A close-up of those four fantastic Motors!

Ta Lads!...

...!

There are a few of them around.
Try this one: Boeing 314 Island Queen:

http://www.fsdome.com/showpage.php?url= ... raft/1.htm

A Google search will bring some of them up, with various Textures and Panel Types.

I like the Island Queen panel. Its got a nice, easy, Radio Nav Panel...(Useful for FS Navigator..

..!

Don't forget, this one is for the lovely FS 2004 Sim...

Note you have to limit the air speed to a Max of 200 Knots, or else the Elevators flutter dangerously...

Superb to fly from VOR/NDB to VOR/NDB....

...!

Paul...

Normally, my Trusty Cessna 150 has only one "Motor" out in front.. :'(

...., but sometimes I get a lust for more, and bigger "Motors" out in front....

...

...!

..and four of them is what every Man dreams of!.. :-*

Awesome shots. The sky in the first one looks great. Definately something different and not what you think of when you hear "Boeing."

Wow. Never seen (or heard of) as Boeing 314.

Posted: **Wed Aug 12, 2009 8:55 pm**

Very nice Paul. Surprised to see you flying something different. Just love these big old flying boats.

Hello Alex...

...

..anything with either a fan in front, or behind....and sometimes both...is fine by me... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

...and occasionally spun round by a 3/5/7/9 cylinder radial motor is even nicer!.. :-*

...!

A Learjet is my very rare excursion away from my lovely Piston Props....
.....only if I am in a real hurry to get somewhere!... ::)

...

...!

Paul...G-BPLF..FS 2004...and a can of 100LL Avgas.... 8-)...!

The first one is very impressive Paul. Nice work. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] 8-)
