Jack Sawyer Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Made this flight today, took me a while to get there, this plane can be a little slow. We start our flight in this immaculate hangar, the hangars I've worked in are usually pretty oily. Invisible pushback Let's start the engine, lots of backfires, no idea why. Love the Qantas logos. Nice old brick tower, I like it. And a very nice easy to use terminal. A quick stop for some food... So cool! Ready to rumble and backfire! I dropped my cookies, I need to have them fall to the canopy Got 'em! Why did I have the urge to do this? Australia is beautiful to be sure! And why did I do this??? Oh, I know, I wanted a good close up of the trees! Back to "normal", well for me anyway. Heidi parachuted in! Easy peasy!

And yellow, you forgot yellow . I find it to be a very wobbly, squirrely plane, and I neglected to balance my tanks so I was almost dry in the right wing! What a maroon! I do like it a lot though but it's a handful. Does your's backfire like mine does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some other very shiny liveries I like too. 6 hours ago, VH-KDK said: WOnderful set Jack with some exciting manoeuvres. Beautiful scenery viewed from all angles.

I might have to look in the manual. 46 minutes ago, lifejogger said: Super shots Jack, I enjoyed looking at them!!!!!!! Thanks John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 What a fantastic post, Jack: First you show us the beauty of Tamworth in detail, together with the totally correct statement that terminals should be easy to use for us (paxes or pilots). Then you drop your cookies and pick them up with that kind of creativity & humor we like. Finally some powerful aerobatics, a qualified copilot & a successful landing. What else do we need?

Well, I reckon those are mighty kind words Gerold! Thank you! It was so much fun to do this flight. I agree on terminals, some are a real nightmare to get around in. Like KATL, you could easily get lost and spend years getting out. All we need is you John and Martyn flying in formation and it would be nice. Well, Stewart, Andy, Adam, and well all of us flying together would be cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
