VH-KDK Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I am very pleased to get Chek Lap Kok working in V4.0 and also surprised to read that two of Thai's 744s will be retained after the other 6 have been disposed of in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John Thank you John, they are getting a rarer sight now. Sometimes we get a QF64 744 fly overhead to Sydney on it's way from Joburg. They will all be gone by 2020.

Wakashi Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I guess all good things must come to an end, and so it is with airplanes! But, rejoice, you have saved this one for as long as you keep that sim going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Good news on your Chek Lap Kok, as well as on the Thai 744. And the Queen always looks great, as do the Thai colours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That´s not fair, Mark: No one cares for the economy of the B-52 and her ancient engines . PS: God save the Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Well, sure good point. Certainly different metrics involved, no question, but I suspect those B-52 airframes have been totally renovated and modernized. Not much original content left on those things, I suspect.
