Malmo/ Kastrup to Cologne- Bonn onboard UPS

[TCX559K]

This is a flight I did today in the awesome Historic Jetliners Group Douglas DC-8. I haven't done many cargo flights, but this one was certainly very good. I know UPS don't have the DC-8 anymore, and I don't know if they ever used it on this route. But I did, and I loved it! Here's the flight.

Parked up in a pretty showery Kastrup.


Pushback, requesting taxi clearance


Taxiing towards a soaked runway. Slight crosswind is blowing.


Still taxiing as a Wizzair A320 touches down.


Holding short as we wait for an SAS 737 to arrive. It took ages -.-


Rotation out of Malmo. The rain has practically stopped.


Climbing out and banking towards the south coast of Sweden.


Thick cloud layer over there!


More thick clouds.


Passing a group of islands.


At a cruising altitude of FL300, making some nice big contrails.


Still cruising over the sea.


More in reply!

Starting our descent.


Flaps going down...


Gear down, runway in sight.


Floating down towards the runway.


ATC watching us drift in.


Fairly smooth touchdown.


Thrust reversers activating.


"UPS 063 Heavy, taxi to parking."


Rumbling into our parking bay.


Parked up and engines shut down.


I hope you enjoyed the flight!

The shots all look good to me, of course it's hard to make a diesel 8 look bad.

Thank you very much guys It's a great plane, I love to fly it. It's one of the old jets that I actually like.
Comments appreciated, thank you.

Great pictures Joel. They look awesome!! I like your DC-8.
Isn't the HJG website just the greatest thing?!!! I really enjoy the site and find it extremely easy to navigate. Every one of their models is really nice.

Thanks HJG certainly is good, some real crackers in there. The Concorde is great, it works very well for me in FSX. If I can figure out how to get up to Mach 2 (there's a certain knack to it) then maybe I'll try and do the 3 hour hop from EGLL to KJFK
Oh yeah, their Tristar is also very attractive

The Lockheed L1011 Tristar that is offered on their website is incredibly awesome! I thoroughly enjoy flying my models of it.
