Atlas 743

This was from a cargo flight tonight. Actually turned out to be pretty interesting. Immediately after take off the right main gear would not raise. All the others did. I lowered all the gear back down, then I had to fly off over the ocean, dump fuel, then return to Portland Intl and land. Fortunately no crash. This is the CLS 747-300, so not overly complex.

Fantastic lighting in that shot, Eric. Looks great.<br />

What a beautiful screenshot!

It is interesting how the light creates a bright outline around the aircraft!

It's a nice shot, but unless I'm missing something, it looks more like a 747-200 than a 747-300.

The pick list in FS2004 said 747-300 so thats what I said here...maybe it is a 200. Freighters dont have the long hump on the back.

You're right in that freighters don't have the stretched upper deck, but it was the windows that led me to state that it was a 747-200. Also, there never existed a freighter version of the Boeing 747-300. Boeing website states there was the 747-300, -300SR, and -300M.

You are actually quite correct.. this airplane is actually a 747-2D7B(SF) I will fix it on my PC!!
