Come see the highlights of the history of the Boeing 747, no longer being made but still flying (albeit in reducing numbers). I really loved researching & making this video. 1. The 747 2. 747 Types 3. People with 747s 4. 747 Disasters 5. 747s in Museums 6. 747s at Iconic Kai Tak Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Will have to get it now! Cheers.

Thanks John, but probably beyond my capability! The lack of a J230 gives me the opportunity to show some other aircraft in the videos! Cheers.

Come join Aussie Owen Zupp, airline pilot & award-winning aviation writer, as he flies solo in a light aircraft around Australia in 2010. Enjoy beautiful Australian scenery, especially the famous remote outback/backcountry, & learn a bit about Aussie aviation history. Part 3 is Broome thru' Perth to Forrest. Hope you enjoy. Cheers. Note: Owen flew an Australian Jabiru J230 but there isn't one in MSFS yet, so we'll use a sort-of-similar German FK9 Mk IV in this Part 3 video, with real-live footage of the FK9 at the end of the video.

These sort of acts are interesting. On one hand, very considerate. On the other hand, defeats the prime purpose of making sure the other side cannot fight again. Terrible business!

This true "Close Call" story titled "Planning for Remote Possibilities - The Tiniest Change of Heading Took This Pilot Out of His Comfort Zone" was published by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Agency (CASA) & won me AU$500. Come watch it replicated in MSFS. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

This is an updated version of my Jan 2023 video on the crash of two Boeing 747s (Pan Am & KLM) on the runway of the airport on the Island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, 27 March 1977. This update includes additional information on the crash from official sources, and a short interview with the surviving co-pilot from the Pan Am aircraft. With a death toll of 583, it remains the world's worst civil aviation accident. Hope you find it interesting. Cheers.

Much loved & respected Bert Mercer started New Zealand (NZ)'s 1st airline with his De Havilland Fox Moth in 1934 servicing the rugged, west coast of NZ's South Island. His airline, Air Travel (NZ) Ltd, grew in scope & popularity & provided valuable service during WW2. It ceased operations when subsumed by NZ's nationalisation of its airlines in 1947. Mercer himself died tragically as a passenger in one of his own aircraft in 1944. Hope you find it interesting. Cheers.

Orbx's YMEN Essendon Airport, Australia, sighted just in time at MDA, with lightning, in my DH Fox Moth. Cheers.

The beautiful, iconic Coral Route through the South Pacific in the 1950s between New Zealand (NZ) & Tahiti was the last flying boat route in the world. The Short Solent IV flying boat flying that route is preserved in an Auckland, NZ, museum & is the last remaining Short Solent in the world. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

I’ll take a look Sherm, thanks. Cheers.

Following MSFS's recent World Update of The Caribbean, plus additional water-masking, now is a good time to visit The Caribbean in MSFS. So come learn about the little-known importance of The Caribbean in WW2 & visit some of the American WW2 airfields there. We'll also take the opportunity to visit 3 present-day iconic airfields. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Cheers Iain from Australia.
