March 19, 20215 yr Shalom and greetings all my pals, YIKES YIKES YIKES I have not published screenshots since last January and 3 millions worth of my screenshots have been piling up in my pc waiting for me to edit, research, and publish!! After purchasing 2 weeks ago the payware add on plane on sale for lousy nine bucks, please allow me to present darn simple screenshot flight report on flight testing of my very first Captain Sim 707 flight from FMMI Ivato International Airport located 16 km northwest of the city centre of Antananarivo which is the capital of Madagascar to FMEE Roland Garros Airport located 7 kilometres east of Saint-Denis in Sainte-Marie on island of Réunion off eastern Africa. Descending from Fl310 to 11,000 ft Passing through clouds during descent from 11,000 ft to 4,000 ft At 4,000 ft just below clouds getting ready for final runway approach to runway 12 First touchdown of brand new Captain Sim 707!! Front landing gear making runway contact Engaging reverse thrusters have created exciting engine smokes from new engines Exiting from runway toward passenger terminal gate Thank you for viewing and please stay tuned for next exciting flight. Regards, Aharon
March 21, 20215 yr Aharon: Beautiful livery of the 707...great series of images, too...!! And, you probably know that this (N322F) is the famous "Pole-Cat" B707...🙂... Crewed by five Captains, three Flight Engineers, and three Navigators, this plane had made the whirlwind flight, on Nov. 14, 1965, on a 26,230-mile, 57 hour, 27 minute flight around the world - from Pole to Pole... "The flight departed HNL and flew north to the North Pole, then south to London Heathrow, where they stopped for fuel. Unexpected runway restrictions limited the 707’s takeoff weight, so they had to make an extra fuel stop at Lisbon, Portugal before flying to Buenos Aires, Argentina. After another fuel stop there, they continued south, circled the South Pole four times, then headed north to Christchurch, New Zealand. From there, they continued on (back) to Honolulu...." And, if I recall correctly...I'd myself taken this Pole-Cat 707 to the Pole, too,...(virtually, of course, like you've done a maiden flight with it, here,...)...🙂... Enjoy...!!
