July 2, 20232 yr Funnily enough, as I was returning to KSLC in the 222B I noticed a surprise visitor - the new/old Stratoliner. Had to grab a few shots Looks like a real midget in the modern environment, doesn't she? Going against the grain for me and worked my way through the checklists Shame there's nobody here to see her! Taxiing out She's a bit fussy and wobbly for my taste for actual flying, so I doubt I'll do that much. But she's fun to have around and cheap (insert your own sexist joke at this point) and she'll look good in various locations and scenarios (and again) so I'm glad I got her. Would really like a Stratocruiser though, now that's a special beastie.

July 3, 20232 yr Cool shots, Andy, she is a bit wobbly indeed, especially when you try to land her properly. 🙂 Plenty of speed is of essence. The PMDG DC-6 I can get down better 🙂 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

Don't she look tiny though? 9 hours ago, Phantom88 said: Classic!! Thanks Patrick (and your avatar's got me wondering if I can find a workable Kong for some NY shots!) 3 hours ago, bernd1151 said: Cool shots, Andy, she is a bit wobbly indeed, especially when you try to land her properly. Cheers Bernd. I didn't actually get as far as trying to land her, I just escaped the sim once I'd got those shots. I will try at least one proper flight in her though, so thanks for the tip.
