Jack Sawyer Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Please forgive my amount of posts. Something in and around Alice made me do it. Boeing's new TFR, terrain following radar! Take a sextant reading will ya?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Oh yeah, the aerobatic 777!! Great shots Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMBIII Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I hope you checked the manifest before that flight. Some of those boxes may have had "THIS SIDE UP" labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifejogger Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Yes, that looks like Alice, nice shots Jack. I guess when you don't have a bridge to fly under you have to do a loop!!!!! I hope all of the cargo was securely tied down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank John, I didn't see any bridges so you're right, I felt the need to do a loop, it was something that just cried out that needed doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Your title sounds like Ralph Kramden in "The Honeymooners". Your flying continues to amaze - your shot after the start of the pull-through should be a large 777 shaped smoking hole in the ground . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Great impressions of your little fun flight, Jack. I was surprised you found a real forest there! I would be even more surprised if you found a bridge there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hahaha! You really did a looping. Thankfully, your cargo was well latched. I wonder how many knots you had then? Really awesome shots, especially the ones of the landing gear and the flaps towards the end really amazed me. Plus and excellent landing. Thank you!

Thanks Lars, yeah, I had to shut off the FCC's or the plane's software would never have allowed it. My speed was 300 kts until I landed. Those views are from ChasePlane which I think is one of the very best addd-ons I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some bridges if you look for them Jack. They are across the Todd River in Alice but you will need a small plane to get under them. Maybe your Cri Cri, there again I don't know how they are modelled in this scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hey Jack. First of all, let me respond to your opening comment by saying that your shots are always welcome. I always look forward to them. Second, let me say that contrary to your desire to make us all seasick, I actually enjoyed this run and the wonderful scenery it highlighted. Sorry, Jack, but all I can say is thanks for this set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sri-Cri is almost cheating, it has to be a big jet for it to qualify in my bridge flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
