Sniper31 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 When I saw the thread title and then the first pic with the 747 (or 787, 744...I can't tell the difference) I just knew there was trouble up ahead What a set of shots Jack, and some nice flying and landing skills. I didn't see any skis or tundra tires on that plane though...safety safety Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Nice flying Jack! Impressive shots, and great landing, but wouldn't it have been easier just to make sure you had ice in the buffet bar before setting off? 1 hour ago, Sniper31 said: I didn't see any skis or tundra tires on that plane though And that is such a nice idea, Sniper - tundras on a 747, I'd pay good money to see that!
