CyprusAirwaysA330 0 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Well, here we are with the next legs of my epic voyage around the world. I have modified some route segments to make it more interesting, and to have more 744s and A340s, and even an A310. They may not be the most logical route - but it will be good fun. The seventh leg is a MD-80 service from DFW to YYZ. Flightplan - it takes us over the Great Lakes today. At the gate, rear stairway opened for mx. Pushing back, Number 1 engine spooling up. Passing some AA heavies, we will fly an AA heavy later on in the tour. Accelerating. Up, up and away - gear just finishing retracting. Climbing. Those mighty PW JT8Ds powering us up to 36,000 feet. Passing a small township. A rather looking crude waterfall - even with the settings maxed it looked like this. Over the great lakes. Commencing our descent over Canada, my homeland. Banking while descending. Look how long those engines are. Gear and flaps down. Nice touchdown albeit with FS9s unrealistic clouds of smoke. Slowing. Taxiing in behind a fellow AA MD-80. ATC parked me at the Air Canada terminal for some reason. Never mind, the pax will just have to be bussed over to the other terminal. Now the next leg, an American Eagle (Callsign: Eagle Flight) flight from YYZ to JFK using the ERJ145. At the gate, next to the MD-80 we were following earlier. Pushing back, engines spooling up. Taxiing to runway 5, looking back at the terminals. Passing the FEDEX area. Waiting for the Jazz CRJ to start it's take off role. Off it goes. Rotating. Banking on the outskirts of Toronto. Now over the suburbs. Climbing through some clouds. Over the Great Lakes. Descending. On the STAR. Over New York. Final approach. Down and slowing. Parked up after our short hop. Hope you enjoyed the shots, next legs to come very soon, possibly tonight. Comments and constructive criticism welcomed. PS. If you find my shot angles repetitive (I do), I have downloaded a cmera addon that will let me have more angles. This will be from leg 11 onwards. Link to post Share on other sites

CyprusAirwaysA330 0 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi mut, Unfortunately, there is one AA tube (albeit a shortish and fat one - guess the aircraft) to go. Afterwards, some much better looking planes in terms of liveries. Link to post Share on other sites

CyprusAirwaysA330 0 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Good good, though to be fair, AA is the airline I fly the most legs with during my tour. Link to post Share on other sites
