That's very cool! Great landing there. Great shots Mike.

But I must add one more thing. You guys have it all wrong!!!! It's first the beer then the pants. He'll end up wetting the pants again, anyway, after drinking a beer! :-lol ;-) (j/k)

[doering1]

You sure had the photographer's eye on that series!
Lot's of fun on that flight!

[ryanreeves]

How did you get the thrust reversers out before touchdown?

[flyboy208]

Thanks all, and ryanteeves I hit F2 and held it down to engage the TR's......Mike

[AngelFuree]

Before touchdown Mike? I'm curious as well... :-)

I think that it would be great to be able to deploy the TR's anytime during the flight, I know that is not real and they are most often times linked to a squat switch.
But look at the dc-8's That was thier only means of in flights speed reduction other than the gear coming down.

Just a thought.

Very kind of you Cook and Gary!.....Mike

[flyboy208]

Engine failure several minutes after departing St. Thomas, USVI. Diverted to the nearest airport and actually got her down in one piece...very little runway left as you can see. I really like turning on the random failures in the Sim, makes for some challenging flying. I think I scared the pants off the PAX!!!!!
And some will probably question the thrust reversers deployed before touchdown, but I had to slow her down in a hurry, as it was basically fully laden with fuel/payload/PAX.

Enjoy!.......Mike:-wave
