Aamir.....oh my that FedEx sunset shot is stellar!   I like the subject plane too. 

 

Gabriel, thanks...starting to play with the settings now...I'll get it looking better.

 

John, .....another great shot of the -300 mate....all Hobbit'd out!

That is super odd. I'm using the email from the repaints. Sent again!

Arrived in Miami from Dallas after it's delivery from Paine Field.

 

She's on her way from Heathrow to Los Angeles

 

Oh man, this Weather Radar!  :wub:  :wub:  -- Thunderstorms approaching Heathrow.

 

 

Just got it.  Too funny!

OK...application accepted.  I'll have legal send over the contract paperwork, and HR will touch base with you for some other paperwork.  Have your passport, all licences and certificates ready to produce...we just don't let ANY pilot fly my paints in a pre-release mode.

Pay close attention to the small print in the NDA, our lawyers...well...you saw the pic I posted of the last check airman who violated the NDA.  (and make sure you fly with a parachute at ALL times!)

 

You're tentatively scheduled to be on the AA rotation, but the paint hangar is being reshuffled with this pesky long one that PMDG released without consideration to our painting schedules!

I sent them an email to please hold the release of the -300 until I could finish all the -200 paints I considered...but noooooooo, they go release it yesterday.....they are so inconsiderate!

Still parked in a hangar in Everett Just bought it today, will probably do my first flight when I get home from work tonight. I'll try to grab a few screens.

Hey Mike, make sure you give the ground crew ample time to get her out of the hangar and prepped' so you're not waiting for them when you should be flying!

This girl is so long, it takes 10 minutes nose-to-tail just to clear the hangar doors!

In fact, there is argument that at times, depending on where the plane is on the ramp, whether the nose is in an Everett zip code while the tail is in a Snohomish zip!

 

I've also heard that some airport pairs in close proximity to each other (like Reagan and Dulles in Washington, DC) try to charge landing fees to -300s that land at either airport. Hehe.

So here's my pilot's license:

 

 

I can totally vouch for it's authenticity. It's 100% real.

 

Also, Steve, had that email gone through, mate, you would have been public enemy #1 on these here forums xD

OK Aamir, the license looks fine...just have your medical and other stuff ready for HR when they ask for it. :Big Grin:

 

Yeah, could you imagine on the PMDG Facebook page:  "-300 release held until Steve Dra can finish all his -200 paints."   The next line, 10 mins later: "Local DFW simmers permanently "retire" the former painter Steve Dra, -300 release now in progress". :huh:

Doubt it would even take 10 mins. LoL

 

Thanks for making me laugh...you can fun with this...which is the whole point in my opinion.

Man! Go eat something, you're too skinny! 

Great pics, I just love the ANZ hobbit textures and liveries, spotted in RL cruising enroute the US, faboulous pics, need to wait a bit before I get the 773...stunning shots guys, keep them coming

Checking out the SQ paint modified by me..

 

 

If anybody wants to do an Emirates repaint, here's a list of all their 77Ws and their SELCALS. Btw the list only includes their 77Ws that do not have the EFB installed. I will be updating the list continuously for future deliveries.
