Stillwater Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Smooth as silk. I just got me the airport during a discount, and I will love it even more when we all move to explore OLC Asia. 7 hours ago, BradB said: What no "Checkerboard" shot Martyn ... that was also my thinking...!

Jack Sawyer Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I like it too, but we can't post any shots from there unfortunately, I'm very careful not too. I only have a few but I only post Orbx. Nice to see you flying a 747 though Martyn, I really like these shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Very nice shots, Martyn. Hong Kong is good looking in your pics. But now that Kai Tak is alive, why not bring it alive now with a swift checkerboard approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca22au Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 In the olden days I flew into Kai Tak twice, but I have two old 747-200/400 captain friends who shrugged it off as nothing special. I still see the washing in my mind's eye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I will I will say hello to him, Midland is only 250 miles from Amarillo. You need to tell him to visit the Commemorative Air Force in Midland, they have a large collection of World War II aircraft and they all fly. https://commemorativeairforce.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had only moved the HQ staff to Dallas but they also moved the planes that were associated with the headquarters to Dallas. I was a member of the CAF for 15 years when I lived in Houston. Our wing of the CAF is The Gulf Coast Wing and our plane is a B-17G Since being transferred to Amarillo, Texas I have not been active with the CAF since there is no wing here in Amarillo.
