Stillwater Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Well, today it will be a climate change just for me and my passengers. We´ll take United flight 219 from O´Hare to Honolulu. Official departure time is 10:10 hrs. While the paxes have to wait in the departure lounge... ... the delicious food, especially the famous ice cream, is loaded... ... and we have to make our preparations in the office. Once again, O´Hare provides some navigation challenges for us. But we finally made it! Out of Chicago in fine January weather. There is not just any other plane on the same track. This is (another ) UA219, pushed in by UT live. On time, I can say. The Mississippi river over Iowa... ... before we leave the snowy conditions near Omaha. Crossing the plains of Colorado, ... ... approaching Salt Lake City, ... ... and finally Oakland. After some hours over the Pacific we can spot islands in the sun. Wow. Oahu. Getting configured to land... ... with everything under control. Parking is easier here than in KORD. And the weather is also slightly warmer. I think one could spend some time here...

VH-KDK Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 How nice it must be to leave the frozen windy city for the sights and warmth of Hawaii. Incidentally, you chose the wrong plane for your flight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have fell asleep that didn't take 10 hrs. Thanks Adam. It took much longer, as I had 4 CTDs during the flight (3 near KSFO, 1 approaching PHNL). I then went back to the old FSX strategies of saving, saving, saving... 2 hours ago, lifejogger said: That was a long flight Gerold!!!!!! Great shots and enjoyed your comments, Thank you John for coming with me on this ride. Though it did not take me to Texas! 11 hours ago, VH-KDK said: How nice it must be to leave the frozen windy city for the sights and warmth of Hawaii. Incidentally, you chose the wrong plane for your flight! Indeed Martyn, I like the warm and colourful weather. But, to be honest, winter looks fasscinating in the sim as well, doesn´t it? Great real life shot btw. This might be the 777 used by UT live, which was observed in picture #7 above ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
