Classics never get old + a first flight for my new bird..

[VTC_WS6]

Found this beauty by chance, stumbled upon the 'Historic Jets Group' page through an ad linked hosted here and all I can say is 'WOW'! I've payed good $$ for payware that doesn't come close to these planes! If you haven't already hit them up, you've gotta give it a look!

Long live Eastern Airlines and the gorgeous 727 :cool:

Also had a chance to get familiar with a new addition to the hangar with the CLS/JustFlight 767. First flight from KRSW (Ft. Myers, Fl) to MYNN (Nassau, Bahamas).

She's put away, bring on the Pina Colada!

A good aircraft all around, but I did find the JustFlight/CLS DC-10 to be a 'better' overall aircraft, something about the 767 that left me a little dry. Very frame rate hungry and the system modeling, although equally simplified in the DC-10, seemed even more rudimentary and otherwise pointless in the 767. Oh well.. on to Captain Sim I guess lol!
