BradB Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Took off out of Welshpool ( EGCW ) and headed West toward the mountains . Thanks Martyn for the directions . About this time my left engine started to quit . I spotted LLanbedr ( EGFD ) out in the distance . Sadly I did not make it ..... It was nice knowing you blokes , see you on the other side .

VH-KDK Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I give you directions and lent you my shiny Aerostar. Too bad I didn't tell you that it needed filling up! How strange though as I did a flight in a Hurricane this morning and ran out of fuel taxying in after landing. I had forgotten to switch tanks. I actually managed to land it in one piece for the first time. Anyway enough of that John, what a beautiful series of images from the Welsh mountains and remember it is only a game so we will see you in the air again very soon.

Rodger Pettichord Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Oh man, John, I have tears in my eyes. I thought it would be a happy ending. That last line was devastating. Nice shots, first-rate short story. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunk Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 One of the best things about this hobby is the ability to hit the reset button on flights like this. As always, great shots John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renault Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I love this And Rodger thinks I'm Carlos . He's a absolutely stellar fellow, but trust me, I'm no Carlos. This forum brings a smile to me, every time I'm on …. John , these are superb. And I am very, very sorry that you ran out of fuel. You had me worried though, I thought by the "other side" you meant that you were giving up on Orbx true earth and going back to XPlane default or P3d Phew, I'm relieved, but you did have me "a going" sir!

Stillwater Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Oh what a ground! Fantastic views. Sadly you did not make it to the ground in one piece, Jack - I would love to see you again here on the forum. Even under other names, like John, Brad or whatever.
