dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 words by Gordon Lightfoot ..... In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved one so In the early morning rain with nowhere to go. Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go I'm stuck here on the ground, where the cold winds blow The liquor tasted good and the women all were fast There she goes, my friend, she's rolling down at last. Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time. This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me Because I'm stuck here on the ground, cold and drunks as I might be You can't hop a jet plane like you can a freight train So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain. Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go There she goes, my friend, she's rolling down at last. Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines thanks for viewing, enjoy the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvPVATeWnvA Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid 149 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Love the song - great shots, too - but what's the sim? Not HJG - Capt SIm? Thanks for sharing! Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Could it be this - search on FlightSim.com for 'FSX/FS9 B707 COLLECTION (420, VC137-C, 300/400 PASSENGER/CARGO)' Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Reckon you're right there, young Kieran! Go to the top of the class, mate - well spotted... Mind you, Tony Madge's models and textures are pretty good, too. Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I found it in a folder in the aircraft, named, 'FS2004'. Had a peek and found 214-odd freeware files! Link to post Share on other sites
mike H 456 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Nice Shots of a Great looking a/c. Takes me back to Heathrow in the 60's plane spotting. Like the way you used the video :th_smiles73: song for the theme. Great Idea Alan. Well Done. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks guys, glad you like the idea. Hurricane, you are correct, that was the sim this lovely aircraft came from, It superb with lots of different liveries, The only thing I did was changed the engine sound from default 747 to something wiuth a bit more noise as is befitting this aircraft. I put some more pics on the JF forum some time ago so you should be able to find them on there. Link to post Share on other sites
