I don't think this airport was made for B744F's but O well. :-) Starting Number 4. Testing the Speedbrakes on our short taxi to Runway 23. A close up of the Beast-Painted in the colours of my Favourite Airline, Emirates! Lining Up. I think were slight too big for this Runway! :wink: ...And we're away-Dubai here we come! Part 7 is Alive Gear Up The sun's nearly setting... Those were very turbulant clouds.. The top section of the PMDG 747-400F 2D Panel. Climbing slowly to FL350 And we're at our Cruise Level! The Sun's getting Low No..We arn't refueling... :yes: One of my Favourite Shots! Turning, Over one of many waypoints on the Route! Very Nice... That' s a BIG Cloud :dance: And here is my Favourite Shot! It's now Night Time! :shock: Just a few more from Cruise.. Close up of the 'Double Decker' Turning over yet another Waypoint... Starting the Decent... Turning down the Coast.. Decending through the THICK Fog! Flaps 20... Visual with the Field 30L/12R hasn't been used all year due to work in progress...So it's 30R for me! Head On! 100ft 50...30...20...10...Down! Vacated Left! Vacated 30L This is my Home away from Home! Can't wait till I'm here Real World in 10 Days! As we approach the Stand...The taxi lights are turned off! I've parked up here before Real World, In a Emirates B773ER. There obviously wasn't any free Stands..It then included a 50min Bus Ride to the Arrival Lounge! Well that's the end of my First Leg! Cheers, Sam :???: Link to post Share on other sites

simi_av8r 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 some sweet shots you captured there Sam, just lovely!! can i suggest the next stop be around the Eastern Bloc? It would help set the following leg up for a 500NM trek across Russia, then China... Indonesia... Oz, New Zealand then Antarctic and on to Chile and South America, Mexico, USA, Canada, Greenland, Ireland, UK...bingo we're home! Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,497 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 If no-one else can fly, I would like to put in a tender to fly to Odessa in the Ukraine in one of my 727's not sure if it will be the -100 or -200 though. Link to post Share on other sites

There's no rush to get home Simi because that will be the end of the challenge, we just want to see the world in as many steps as possible without getting too boring. Then we'll start a new challenge! Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 a 500NM trek across Russia, then China... Indonesia... Oz, New Zealand then Antarctic and on to Chile and South America, Mexico, USA, Canada, Greenland, Ireland, UK...bingo we're home! Oz?? Is that a reference to the land of Foster's in one quart cans? Never heard that one before. Must be a British thing, eh? Wow! That's quite a trek. Not exactly the express route is it? Sounds like fun though. John Link to post Share on other sites

Thos steps would take anybody few months to fly in real life, i guestimated them to be well over 35,000 Miles when you take into account all of the to-ing and fro-ing... If no-one else can fly, I would like to put in a tender to fly to Odessa in the Ukraine Ukraine 'eh... hmm, if this leg goes ahead, i'd love to pick up the baton here and haul out the one of the smaller Antonovs, maybe the lovely bi-plane Antonov AN-2 'Annushka'... Mut can i, huh, huh... huh..... can i... puh-leeeeeezzzzzzz??? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,497 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Looks as though there's no other offers at the moment so I will take up the baton and take it to Odessa. Unfortunately I haven't been able to re-activate my CS 727, I'm waiting for help from their support so the aircraft has gone tech. I've seen something interesting parked up at OMDB so will call in a favour from one of my chums from Eastern airlines. They're servicing her now should be ready soon :dance: Keep an eye out for leg 8! I thought a trip from the Ukraine would perk you up Simi! I think on this occasion knowing what interesting machines you have in your hangar that leg 9 will be yours (Sorry guys). Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the link to the new scenery. awesome! only suggested it as it happens to be the home of Antonov Design Bureau my favourite cargo airline!......and of course its also home to the mighty AN225 'Myria' but i think she's a bit, shall we say overly large, for this mission... no, this calls for something bizzare or less common in most peoples hangars....
