Frankfurt to LA in a PanAm 742

Featured Replies

I did this flight with PanAm in 1984 and as far as I can remember, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was my first transatlantic flight.

 

This is the P3D CLS 742 with the flight deck of the MSFS default 747. Should anyone of the CLS team see this post, I very much hope, you can bring this iconic plane to MSFS. I guess that I would not be the only one, who would love to buy it! For me, the 742 is the one and only, the real “Queen of the Skies”.

 

I fly over vanilla MSFS scenery and yes, I didn’t refuel 🙂

Sadly, this most enjoyable flight (which I did in three portions) has now come to an end. But the good thing is, I can always do it again 🙂🙂

Beautiful pictures with this plane....bernd....!! It's interesting that your first transatlantic flight was in a Pan Am, and my first was in a Lufthansa....🙂...747-400...

(I believe JF's 747 Classic is now in development for P3D.... who knows the MSFS version could be next...) ...
