VH-KDK Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 A continuation of my post this morning. No payload and only 10% fuel. 1. Using Shift+P to make the most of every inch of runway. 2. The port outrigger is nearly on the taxi way. 3. Pedal to the metal and take off depends on runway length not speed. 4. We are off and airborne. 5. FS9 model with 744 2d flight deck and RB.211 engines sound. Sounded very impressive from the tower. 6. Now we have to rendezvous with the air tanker as 10% of fuel won't get us very far. 7. I like this shot from the tower, plenty of zoom required. 8. I think I have woken the whole island this morning. 9. Now over Oxnard, my starting point for many SCA flights. 10. Now full of fuel after meeting the KC-97, oh did you miss it? 11. Next stop Elmendorf for another fuel stop. A step back in time with the 2D cockpit, and we used to think that was so good!

Stillwater Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Nice tailstrike, and good to know there are no palms left close to the runway now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Terrific Martyn, quite a feat. I honestly didn't know if it could be done, and what an aircraft, I'll bet it did wake the entire island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
