Jack Sawyer Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 TE NCA This is taking things to a whole new level. In my zeal to get to the Golden Gate Bridge I neglected my engine. It stopped working so I made a heroic water landing. Departing KSFO Absolutely breathtaking scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Great stuff - I see gear down in the second to last but you must have retracted 'cause you're right side up on the water - good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Next time you take the TBM out you should put a Jerry Can next to you in the cockpit. You can then top up the tanks if you run out of juice. An exciting set of images with a very wet plane but a happy ending. Now get that hairdryer out ready for when your plane arrives back at your hangar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hair dryer would be a good idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dario Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 In the ORBX TE California release post Ed Correia wrote “you can test your skills flying under the Golden Gate Bridge before watching the city of San Francisco“. When I read it, I immediately thought: ORBX was thinking about Jack Sawyer when they released this region!!!! Hope your engine is able to cope with the mission on your next flight!!!
