flyer8 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 So I'm Sitting at KLAS, minding my own business, not having been able to take at flight for almost six weeks (hiatus due to programming duties). Need an easy flight, nothing to taxing, back to the desert. It took me a little more than seven minutes to tune in and prepare, and I looked up and saw this 757 patrol past... 757 On Watch Duty 757 Still Watching Heading to KLAS 25R 25R Moving Up 25R Top of the Queue SWA 737 Landing One Above Seven Behind My Turn 22:26 Minutes Freedom is the I15 Home I wonder how many times I've been in Vegas and felt like I wanted to escape back home to Santa Monica. This time, I had to patiently wait my turn, but the escape was complete and screen shots turned out to be pretty OK too. Thought I'd share my experience with everyone, and the desert of California is beautifull, isn't it though? FS9 FSDreamTeam KLAS The C182S Tank Best Regards!

Slammr Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm sure the heavies were pleased as punch (and probably spluttering their coffee!) to have a Cessna join the conga line! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner simpilot Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Great shots of a little Cessna with all those liners, I hope you were watching your temp gauges closely. I would have called the tower & requested to return the the hanger had a beer ok a six pack & waited hopefully the runway would slightly lighten up the go flying.

flyer8 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Larry, Kenny, Slammer, Adam, Gary, Darren, Pugilist, and the KCD...Thanks guys! You're all right. Sitting in the conga reminded me of that movie Contact. The scene where Dr. Arroway is stapled into the sphere, and it's shaking so much that all she can say is "I'm OK to go, I'm OK to go", pale as a ghost. But once into the wind, the tank is like an old Porsche, or maybe a KCD Benz, its nose dips down and its pure speed across the desert. Fitting, as flying so close to Edwards, always reminds me of the sonic booms I used hear way back when. Best Regards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackryan Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Back when I was learning to fly in real life, I was taking lessons at KPHX (Sky Harbor in Phoenix) and I remember getting in line behind a bunch of 737s only to get to the head of the line and have a plug foul out and had to taxi back to Sawyer. .5 on the Hobbs and didnt go anywhere.

scottb613 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Caution wake turbulence in front and keep your speed up you have a 737 behind you... No pressure right ??? That's an actual radio call I had from tower on a real SEL flight into KORF - seems appropriate here... NICE set !

dbauder Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Ground would have probably assigned you 19L or 19R but that wouldn't have been nearly as much fun :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
