VH-KDK Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I couldn't resist the challenge. 1. Filton Airport at Bristol where the Concorde was built. 2. Some practice is needed. 3. Inverted again but lower this time. 4. The Second Severn Crossing. 5. Even the road is inverted! 6. A bit high coming in but just managed to squeeze under. 7. Now for the Severn Bridge. 8. Could not alter course so had to go the right way up and approach from the North. 9.6 ft is a little too low. 9. Managed to go through at a comfortable height. 10ft leaves no room for error. 10. Now for the second bridge again. 11. Coming in too high so an overfly the right way up. Hope you enjoyed the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 You do realize at this very moment jack is in a lather & dragging aircraft out of his hangars & scouring maps for bridges to fly under? You may as well as slapped him in the face with a pair of gloves! TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Martyn, you've laid down the gauntlet and now I have to accept the gloves to the face challenge! This is some extremely good flying actually, and it's good to know this plane was designed for this! But now I have to wonder how I'm going to top this, or if even can be topped. I was gonna fly around Larry's Nainmo water ports today and I don't think there's many tunnels and I don't know how well the MV Beaver would behave upside down. Also, you guys were making me so hard this morning, I appreciate it, such good fun and camaraderie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was keeping both eyes opened looking for a yellow plane coming the other way. I don't know about the tunnel though, I think it is quite a busy line and I am not sure if my Typhoon would fit in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jack, I never thought for one minute that I would be able to do this but luckily for me the Typhoon performed really well. My next challenge is very difficult and that is to land a plane on the centre line of the runway. Most of my landings are hair raising to say the least. Anyway it is all about having a laugh and enjoying ourselves, who wants to take things too seriously? (Answers on a postcard addressed to PO Box..............)

Stillwater Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 When I read yur pst title I was thinking that nt nly my keybard was beginning t get brken, but als my screen - not easy to understand these words for me as a serious German. But then I say your flight action. Amazing skills these guys from down under have. Perhaps this "down under" is the key? And if you do this now in the mentioned tunnel, I will instantly quit simming.

Please, someone tell me where this tunnel is! I gotta see, I mean, er, yeah, I know, I can drive my BMW through it in the sim! Yeah, I ain't gonna fly in it, no way, I mean, er, why would I want to do that? No, driving my Cub, uh, um, BMW through it would be better.
