Short but very troublesome flight!

[Souichiro]

In the Meljet 777


We started of in the early morning loveliness of Geneva


All was well when we took off


Even when we climbed


The light broke through quickly as we were still over the mountains.


Beautifull as they lay in the haze! safe when you're up here but dangerous when flying lower


Little did we know that we would soon have to fly through them.. We heard a loud bang and the warning lighjts came on..

We had lost an engine

We quickly descended and headed for the closest field that could take us.... SION


Approach through the valley


Landing on one engine is tricky to say the least....


But we made it!


All was opened for the checks!


Phew! that was a close one! All ended well and no one was hurt badly.



Cheers

Shit happens when you fly boeing

Interesting but very dangerous statement

For me it makes no difference

Airbus VS Boeing

I crash them all

Glad you liked the shots

Beautifull scenery in the last 3  Great set as well

One engine landings on a twin engine aircraft are always fun

Also glad to see someone else flying the 777  Theres a sound pack for the 777 over at no nodes and possibly here and avsim...really adds some life to those engines  For FS2002 though...also around 38mb

For carrier use

And Any landing from which you can walk away and re-use the plane is a good landing!

Great story! Pretty darn good landing too!  ;D Don't know if the passengers agree... but it looks exciting!  ;D
