AI Crashes

[Aspiring pilot]

I saw something that really suprised me. I have recently trying to follow AI airplanes for a long as possible. I was climbing to meet an airliner (Landmark 777, I think). It had its wheels down, and I think that it was making a landing approach (at 10,000 feet). It suddenly started falling. It crashed in the water near Honolulu.
Tail number-N10768
Time-12:54
Date-June/July 7 (I just hit "summer" in the season category)
I saw this once and tried to replicate it as close as I could. It happened again. That is how I got the information.It happened over the Honolulu airport and headed away from the island. The crach was about 2 miles from shore. There was nothing. The plane just hit the ground and dissappeared.

Has anyone else seen something like this?

Hi,

As you are running FS2002, try to follow this AI with the program AIView (double click on the spot and you will see and follow your plane at a greater distance. Perhaps the plane was disturbed by your presence too near. Otherwise AI planes disappear if there is no parking available.

Maybe it ran out of gas!
You always need to make sure that you have a gas station cloud for a waypoint on those long hauls just in case.

thts has happend to me as well. at a diferent airport though. i touched down at Heathrow and at tht moment a KLM 737 comes in touches down , ATC says KLM **** go around, poor  
thing, it takes back off and then stalls and crashes rite in front of my plane.

Homer, I think you had a little too much beer. How could it crash right in front of you if you had vacated the runway?

Sounds interesting, AP. I'll check it out!

I had an AI crash at KSLC, a World Travel 747 flight was turned around by the ATC, she circled around and attemped to land but was a few miles off, when I turned my a/c around all I saw was the tail sticking up from the ground a few miles away from the runway threshold.

this is what i remmenber happened once....

I was holding for takeoff authorization (Toncontin) holding for a 737 to land....

I saw it was coming to high  (they normally do because the approach is very steep)

I thought it was going missed.... but to my surprise it landed!!!!  


But it ran all the runway and passed it!  it couldnt stop on time!!!!!

Toncontin is a very short runway and this has happend once in real life!!!

Alrighty. I was just wondering if this has been seen before or not.

I have been following this airplane with all manner of aircraft, from an F-22 Raptor to a UH-60 Blackhawk to a Howard 500, at different distances. Several miles in the case of the UH-60. It is kind of strange. The airliner is in comminucation with the tower, getting flight directions. It then just circles, no more radio. It has gone different diresctions, sometimes crashing just beyond the Honnolulu airport and other times making it to the other end of the island.

I also said the wrong date. It is Aug. 7, 2005. Start at 12:45 local time.

We should suspect terrorists.
