mutley 4,487 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 It's that time of year again in the Northern Hemisphere when the winds blow, rains fall and snow is on the way.

SEATAC 400 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Good luck to everyone. My first entry is a 737 taking off from Logan Airport in a snow storm. Next up is a Cessna landing in IFR conditions at Detroit Metro. And last, but not least, is a Bush Hawk XP flying in sub-zero temps with an iced up windshield. Where's that De-Icing switch?

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Inspired by the Black Buck missions, here's a Victor tanker in the bad weather at bracket 3 I think : Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 ...coor, pretty dark shot that one Keiron, can just about make out the Victor on my monitor, hopefully that was the effect you was after? on another note, here's my 3rd entry - the Carenado Cessna 'Stationair 6 II' passing over Gloucester and the M5, the airport is just visible behind the nose. (NOTE: categorically no edits to this shot, however it HAS been cropped - all weather, terrain and textures courtesy of FSGlobal, UTX, REX2004 & AS6.5.) having seen the outstanding quality of the entries thus far I may well replace my previous entries within the coming days....decisions, decisions!

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 @Simon - yep that was the effect I wanted - the lightning in the background and the flash along the rear - thanks for the comment though - it's fine on my moniter Link to post Share on other sites

stu7708 244 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Well, having the best fall weather I can remember up here in the northern parts of europe I had to go elsewhere for some bad weather, and ended up in the cessna 208 over the Pacific Fjords area. Departing PAKT, with atleast a low cloud layer (Broken @ 2000) and some rain. And some of those clouds were actually rather dark too.. They claim there's a few high mountains around here, but if I can't see them they can't hurt me... right??? All shots unedited with the exception of a slight crop to get rid of the menu bar...
