One LONG flight!

[Jakemaster]

Well, I have a regained interest in taking screenshots now that they can be crisper than ever!  So I did a flight from Tokyo to Houston, and it just so happens to be the longest flight I've ever done!

At the gate in Tokyo and getting ready to go


Beginning to rotate


Leaving Tokyo


Somewhere over the pacific before night fall


This is the killer....TWELVE AND A HALF HOURS LATER, I touched down in Houston.  Also one of my best landings, so that made it nice!


I actually DID try for these...comments welcome!

12 hours...I salute you.

Great shots by the way, the second and third hit it spot on, nicely done.  ;)

You must have had one comfortable chair!

Ya, I often go to flightlevel350 and watch videos of landings of my planes and then try to make it as close to the video as possible.  In videos of the 777, the wheels farthest back touchdown and then the whole mains basically fall forward onto the ground.

Great shots. You do not stay on center line very well on take off.

No, I was on center.  Active camera made the plane 'float' for some reason so it looks like its off.  Trust me, I was centered on takeoff

12 hours.  :o*starts bowing down* "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy."

Nice shots Jake! 8-)

What T7 is that, it doesnt look like the meljet one...

With my VA (CO virtual with FTG) I have flown several of CO's long hauls like that, including EWR-delhi, EWR-Beijing, EWR- Hong Kong, IAH-Gatwick. However, I didnt sit there for 12 hours...!

It is the wonderful Overland 777!

I must say, I admire your patience. I have trouble sitting through a 15-minute flight, never mind a 12-hour one!

Fantastic shots! This reminds me of my old long hauls.
