A Date with a Grand Dame


Recommended Posts

I've been waiting for a date with this bird for a long time. Yes the Boeing 377, ugly yet somehow beautiful.

 

So sit back... not that far  and enjoy.

 

The office or should I say greenhouse.

How can you say she is ugly?! A true icon of her times and let's face it, you don't look at the mantlepiece when p............

 

 

She's anything but ugly.

 

Tempted to get her, need a classic airliner in my hangar.

Perhaps ugly is a bit harsh, but she has got a double chin but then again the classic figure of eight.

 

She is a beauty and a bit of a beast to fly, quite a learning curve for me.

 

@ Paul I can recommend some classic propliners, the DC-3, DC-6 or the Connie all from JF.

That is a fun Handful to fly. I used it in AirHauler and is the First Really Heavy I flew since flying B24 Liberators in combat sims years ago...and I balled the 377 in on landing doing about75% damage with my most expensive cargo to date at the time....whoot!

But it was an education in slowing down, controlling speed and lining up to runways in such a huge plane.

 

/Enjoy. and try to keep the learning curve above stall speed when over the runways :)
