American Airlines "Spirit of America"

Postby Fly2e » Thu Jul 10, 2003 6:21 pm

Well, there were a few responses earlier to this thread, but around 1:00pm EST, the server ate my aircraft and they are now looking for that thread around the Bermuda Triangle!!
Here it is again...........

Here is the very nicely done 737-800 by FFX. These planes are very detailed and are really frame rate freindly.
Here she is on her way back from the beautiful Island of Bermuda...."get it!!!"

As we approach the coast line of New York's Long Island,
our final destination is The John F Kennedy International Airport.

Image


The sun sets to the West, as the "Spirit of America" starts her approach.

Image


With our gear down and our flaps adjusted, we follow the glidescope.

Image


All looks good as our landing lights lead us home.

Image


As we get closer to our touchdown, the 737-800 is Poud to be back home!

Image


Another beautiful ride....  8)

I hope I don't lose this thread to "The Bermuda Triangle" again!!!!

Then my response was also done-in..........I hope its not me who caused it when I put my post into the thread......in any event, I'll try again cause it deserves to be said........
I usually don't isolate and ignore parts of an image, but in this case, it is warranted.........from this perspective, this could well be a film photo...........this quality is astounding.......! :o  :o  8)

In order to get that shot of your engine, Dave, I had to close in fast and make a high"G" turn to avoid a collision. During this evasive manoeuvre, I started to black out, but got the shot just as things were fading around the edges.......WHEW !....... ::)  ::)
