Superb scenes HL!

Looks great Patrick! Those Seymour Johnson F-15E's look like their ready for battle

Had a great ride along Michael...thanks for sharing!

Wonderful views HL! Hopefully they weren't on a search n rescue mission B)

I was wondering when the airport was going to appear myself. I probably looked like Ted Striker in the Airplane movie B) When I see you in a PIA bird at Paro Imran, I'm buying the beers

Lovely colors Chris!

Beautiful views John!

Many thanks fellas! Who would think Rick that flying a plane in FSX would make one a little nervous lol. Well this one did. I had taken a few flights at Paro using the trike and default Cessna, mostly just putzin' around, but decided it was time to take the "big gun" in there. Here's a quickie map showing runways 15/33 using Google Earth. Coming in from the southeast, I knocked autopilot and autothrottle off about 15 miles out and was paying close attention to the Nav Display with terrain on that was about 98% red. I usually keep autothrottle on until I'm near the FAF, but Paro doesn't have any navigational aids other than a VOR/DME located a few miles away so it was all up to me. VREF was 134 as I was light on weight, so I kept her about 150-155 until I could make out the airport. There's a road on Google Earth that leads up to Paro. Maybe when ORBX comes out with OpenLC Asia it will be visible, so I used the small river that ventures up to the airport to guide me in (and yes I wondered if I was ever going to get there lol). I studied Google Earth long and hard beforehand to help out (how many pilots can do that during their flight B)) Maybe someone else can chime in, but the runway 15 approach looks even more dangerous. I can only say this by looking at Google Earth, but runway 33 was a doozy for sure!!

Thanks Steve! Boy I sure could have used you as the FO on the FedEx flight. Not often you get a pucker factor going in flightsim, but I had one this time I've already asked Santa for a 747v2 for Christmas...hope he "delivers" :smile:

FDX1010(VVNB-VQPR) has the Panda on a freight haul to Paro Airport out of Hanoi. With VQPR's airport elevation and runway length I limited my cargo load to about 103,000lbs. I thought Aivlasoft EFB was going to be of help as finding Paro can be like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I was distracted too much by the TERRAIN TERRAIN, PULL UP warnings B) Once clear of the 12,000ft tops, I followed the river valley to runway 33 with full flaps and gear down well in advance for the steep descent. Although I haven't landed in Toncontin (MHTG) in a couple months, Paro has it beat. I wonder if the runway 15 approach could be any more fun :smile:

Beautiful colors and sweet livery!

Nice! I don't know where you find these liveries at Aharon, but you have some great ones. Any chance of a Rich International L-1011 flying soon?

Wow nice catch! I thought the aliens had invaded at first glance B)

Beautiful Dom! Patiently awaiting the download links :smile:

Beautiful Harald! Summer sweet summer :smile:

Some real corkers HL! Looks like an F-117 from the rear B)

That was just a joke towards Imran as he loves to fly PIA. Although I suppose if one flew with 4096 resolution textures it could contribute to an increased chance of an OOM

Many thanks Jim! I miss it along with so many others I appreciate it Frank! My red border along with TWA are a coincidence and a good one at that. That's really neat about your first airplane ride. I was just a toddler on my first one, but my Mom did say I lost a shoe onboard lol. The breech baby story is hilarious and you probably got some pretty strange looks when you mentioned it....great way to get some freebies! Thanks Rick! I do manage to get a few non-freighter flights from time to time, but I always say the fewer windows (and passengers) the better :smile:

Great set of shots! I love the Aerosoft A330!!

Well at least it says TWA on the tail AAL1883(MWCR-TJBQ) departs the Grand Cayman islands for a 2 hour flight to the western side of Puerto Rico

Lovely Big D and the snow has nearly melted B)

Smashing shots Niclas! It looks soooo summery :smile:

Great catch Ryan!

Thanks for reminding me Ollie. Perhaps when I win the lottery GS won't need my credit card number, just a cut of my earnings B)
