Jack Sawyer Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Well, Gerold @Stillwater asked me to do this, so here it is. Sorry so many. And, after this I need to really make some serious flights in that A320 I bought. Took off from Welshpool, violated just about every rule in the book, and I'm in prison now. Also, two shots show a wide open area, I included the coords, is this normal? What is this area? It looks like an old castle? What is this area? Anyone? I really do apologize for so many, I'm sorry for such foolishness. I simply have to straighten up and fly right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Glorious topsy turvy set Jack and an exhilarating flight for sure. Paul will like this flight and I am sure I could see him waving to you in one image. You have flown over Cardiff Castle and the Millennium Stadium The barren area you are referring to is the Llanwern Steelworks at Newport which is still in operation. I hope that Newport is a happier place now but I visited it in 1980 and have never seen so many sad people. Great to see you enjoying yourself.

paulb Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Fantastic Jack! I if I could give you two likes then I would! The first bridge that you flew under is the Porthkerry Railway viaduct near Rhoose. (Cardiff airport used to be called Rhoose Airport). It was built in 1896. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porthkerry_Viaduct As Martyn said, that is Cardiff Castle. The keep in the centre dates back to Norman times and was built (in various forms) in the 11th to 13th century. Much of the other wall was built from the 14th century until the late 1800s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff_Castle The stadium that you flew over is where we play our top Rugby in Wales. They also have a number of pop concerts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Stadium You then moved on to Newport where you can see the girder bridge and the old transporter/suspension bridge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newport_Transporter_Bridge After that (as Martyn said) the open area is the Llanwern Steelworks (near Newport). It was the first oxygen blown integrated steelworks in Britain when it opened in 1962. It looks like the scenery designers got a bit lazy there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanwern_steelworks Then of course you 'explored' the second Severn Bridge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Severn_Crossing A great flight and aerobatics Jack. I really enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thank you for those real world links and info, I'm always keen on learning new things. 3 hours ago, stewart1 said: super set of shots Jack well what can I say inverted several times sideways and always that would of put you in a very good mood and a yellow aircraft as well I bet it seems like you have won the lottery and you must be happy now regards stewart Thanks Stewart, yep, good mood yesterday, but it's Gerold's fault, he challenged me in another post.

Sniper31 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Jack, your flying adeptness is straight out of an action movie. You see the plane do things that look impossible, but then you see the action hero pilot at the controls, and then you tell yourself "well then, if HE is flying the plane, than those moves are possible....I mean, he is Action Jack Sawyer after all!"

Stillwater Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Sorry to force you to such a job. I´ll keep quiet in 2018. Or at least in quarter 1. Mmmmh, maybe only in January. More realistic... today. Ah, forget it, my quiet period is over. Amazing flight action shown by a real genius here. Congrats, Jack, flying inverted and keeping the altitude for a longer time is already challenging - but at 90° this is outstanding.
