May 19, 20197 yr The Mad Dog looks great in that VA livery! Which MD-11 is that please? I know it isn't the Sky Simulations one Fairbanks to Whitehorse is a relatively short distance - the Mad Dog is a bit of overkill Mind you - if she's ready and available then why not use her for an emergency trip? The MD11 is like a beautiful, willing platinum blonde.... the rest of that statement is a bit risque for AVSIM 😉 Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot. The best "lite" MD-11 money can buy (well, it's not freeware!)
May 20, 20197 yr For some reason the screenshots at the origin reminded me of the movie "Cast Away", thank goodness your cargo flight was not over the lonely Pacific.... Nice shots and theming... John
