July 11, 20179 yr Some pics from a shakedown flight of my freshly restored Handley Page Hampden after departing Ardmore Airport - with a photo-op in front of the Auckland skyline :) Mangemangeroa Creek (right) and Turanga Creek (left), with Cockle Bay / Shelly Park on the right, Lining up with Waitemata Harbour ahead Auckland CBD Pulling up once the the Harbour Bridge was behind me I love the shape of the exhaust... Still gaining altitude and heading north Rangitoto Island in the foreground, Motutapu in the background Reached the clouds, engines running smoothly, crew complaining about the available space on board - everything going fine Looping back over Waiheke Island And Turanga Creek once again below us FSX DX10, Virtavia Hampden, Godzone NZ Cheers Mallard
July 11, 20179 yr Very nice. You can tell it's not P3D from the beatiful clouds. "We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men." [George Orwell]
July 12, 20179 yr Fantastic flight, Mallard and a great plane to enjoy the scenery Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
