Just started a session with an Atlas -8F shown here enroute KIAD-KSFO at FL340 over the Ohio Valley.  Her GW here is 832,800 lbs, I'm able to max out the payload and require only enough fuel that depart with TANK/ENG already configured.   She is a born hauler:

Oh my god this looks so good! Looks like the PMDG team has done an amazing job as usual.

Here's an illustration of newer technology at work.  Sipping some strong and sweet Darjeeling, just out of Anchorage bound for JFK, I wriggled into my sheepskin and wondered about the peaks ahead.  We were headed for Whitehorse and were crossing some rather craggy terrain.  A simple push of the EFIS CTR knob assured me that I could put away my needless worry and start pestering the controller to let me cancel the SPD INTV/restriction (conflicting traffic had disappeared from the ND), and let her have her head...

Are you thinking, "Fly me to the Moon" or "Moonglow"? Me, while I like Frank, I'm really fond of Bucky :)

It's crazy- I just can't stop going "outside" and ogling this beauty.

Dedicated to any Swire Mariners who happen by... Kai Tak & the Fragrant Harbour touched so many lives... may their memory live forever!

B-LJA does a great job commemorating VHHX.

Thanks for the PIREPs, the bird looks great.  Carl, is this "trolly-dolly" some new accessory to the aircraft?

Jeff-

It's what I call "She Who Must Be Obeyed" when I am out of earshot 😉

Not really something to apologize to me for. Just be sure to pay a little more attention next time.
