Jack Sawyer Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Ok @Sniper31 these shots are for you my friend. AS4 weather which presented some nice fog, real time, PMDG 747 with short fuel and empty. Left Half Moon Bay and, well, you be the judge. This is a really beautiful airport! But wait there's more! Boo Hoover special Now that's a pretty picture right there! Heading home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregmorin Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Very well done Jack! I notice you used a UPS livery instead of Delta; did the Chief Pilot warn you about hot dogging? Oh by the way the FAA is trying to track down the pilot responsible for multiple accidents on the Golden Gate bridge earlier today. some thing about distracted drivers.

I mostly like to use UPS for 747 stunt work, although I did use DAL once or twice. But UPS gets my packages to me on time so they're my go to "stunt 747".

Stillwater Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I expected to see the newly discovered Sawyer effect later today. But not with a 747! These crazy pilots here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These crazy pilots here! When I get the time to do a "proper" flight from the very beautiful Half Moon Bay Area I will for sure. This was a rush job because it was a challenge Landon threw down. Like I need encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean look at NASA’s so-called vomit comet. It does parabolas all day. Look at the demonstration flight of the 707, it’s simply a matter of good energy management and maneuvering. I mean Bob Hoover made a career out of it. Cheers John. PS: If ya’ll want me to stop I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Great captures and great stunt flight Jack, the Sawyer Effect is in full swing over the San Fran Bay! Like John said though, I hope none of my packages were in that 747...thankfully, I just received all my latest computer upgrade parts last week, or they probably would have been in pieces after arriving on your flight Nevertheless Jack, you did not disappoint....well done!

VH-KDK Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 High energy series of images from your flight Jack. I thought the take off was spectacular but then the antics around the Golden Gate Bridge was something else. Stop what, the flying or the airframe knowledge. Nah, don't stop Jack, the flying is entertaining and the info about RL planes fascinating to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for real life stuff, I could go on for days. It’s all I did. I’m even writing a book about it but it has a lot of comedy in it. I couldn’t help myself as Landon asked, and I like to see if it can be done. It’s the beta tester in me, I like to push things to the limit. Anyway, I have to agree, the take-off from Half Moon was beautiful. I can’t believe how nice this airport is! I really look forward to the next product Orbx releases.

Thanks Erik. I was surprised it would do it too. But with short fuel and empty this plane has some serious power behind it. I mean after takeoff I had to fight to keep it nose down.

Don't worry about the ones who might get upset Jack, if what you do upsets people then THEY are the ones that have a problem. No, just think of your many good friends on here who like what you do.
