Cheers fellas.

I dont fly the heavies often because they are harder to get upside down and they don't tend to enjoy Nap Of the Earth flying, but I do like flying them. Im just rubbish at them, but its a gaol this year to learn how to fly them properly.

Hey Esteban. Thanks for the comments mate. You would obviously be more qualifies to say how realistic the airport looks, but Aerosoft did a fantastic job from what I can see. Do you have the spanish airports addon?

Cheers Cliff. I suppose you're right. Landings do happen. Fillings fall out. Stewardesses get bounced.... :o

Hey Kane, it is a really well done addon indeed. Very very close (if not almost identical) to the real thing. I only wish there were more spanish airports as Seville, Palma or Bilbao...

lol, nice pics and great to see you flying some heavy metal :)
I usually find the heavies much easier to fly than fighters, though I think its safe to say I have a go at just about everything, lol.

Being a famous landing expert myself:-roll : Perfect landing with this heavy bird Kane. Great airport:-jumpy

**Shamrock128** · 01-09-2005, 02:52 PM

Great shots Kane :-cool

I really like #1 & #3 :-eek

Great to see you flying the heavies!!

**FesterShinetop** · 01-09-2005, 03:02 PM

Looks like a good enough landing to me Kane... but then again, I usually end up with the wheels pointing at the sky... :-lol :-lol
The last shot looks real spectacular!!

Esteban, thanks for the info. Im creating a video now of the Aerosoft Spanish airports package, and so I downloaded some Iberia aircraft. Boy do they look nice. I love Spanish girls :D oops :-lol

Thanks Bryan, Jan, Irish and fester.
I was actually suprised how light the 747 felt which is why I messed up the landing. That and the slow response of the engines got me all sideways. Maybe taking pictured during the landing contributed as well, but it just looked so nice.

Nothing wrong with any of the landing shot I have seen from you Jan. They are at least on centre line ;)

I like those pics too Al. I think #3 is my fav of all of them though. Hmm, new desktop I think :D

Fester, did you go to the grover school of landing by any chance?? :D
