The Tasman flies again !!!

[Popart]

A flight from Sydney to Perth, flying into the sunset and landing in total darkness.
My first time in a 777-300 and this bird is great to fly!
Please take a look and tell me what you think.

Just before pushback at gate 20.

I have flown this flight for the great Virtual Airline "Tasman Pacific". You can look us up at www.TasmanPacific.com

The flight took me 5 hours and 36 minutes! I had a missed approach :-(

Those are all beautiful photos, I mean screenshots;-)...what scenery is that, its beautiful. And that paintscheme is great as well, but I'm not a big fan of the default 777:(

BTW the third from last is amazing!!!

Thx Matt :-)

The scenery I used for Sydney can be found on http://www.aussim.com/sfsc/sydney2002.html
It is a bit slow on frame-rates though, but it makes great pictures...er, screenies!

You can also take a look at one of my previous flights from Sydney in a 737-400 (the plane I love the most to fly) at http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/DCForumID8/13002.html

It is Stefan who told me about Tasman Pacific :-)
Too bad we don't see much of him around here anymore!

But I like the way he posted his flightreports on the forum and now I am doing the same :-)
I think the VA's paintscheme looks great on the pics!

BTW, I like your pic too :-) Is that really you?

Hey there colleague !!

As usual, very nice shots. My "duty" flight this week will be an American flight from KLAX to KORD. First time I will fly the 777-300 for our "company". Watch out for screenies from this flight later this week !!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Sep-23-02 AT 09:55AM (EDT)[/font][p]Nice shots, really nice. Its good to see a bit of "down-under" content. I fly the YSSY - YPPH route often, always enjoy it.

Love the colour scheme on the plane, looks really nice.

Hey Menno!

Our "company" must be very proud that we, as devoted Tasman Pacific pilots, always promote this great VA! I can smell a promotion coming up...hehe.

I am looking forward to your flight report in one of our triple sevens! It was my first time too, but she flies like an eagle...!!!
