Rupert Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Frankly, Now that I knew that rectangular body of water near EHAM was designed as a rowing channel I had to "Christen" it with my Goose. So I decided to go back to EHAM, fly around Amsterdam a little then do a T&G in the rowing channel. Afterwards I went back to land at EHAM where the commercial traffic seemed pretty heavy today!! :eek: I probably should have called in to ATC to get landing clearance!! Oh well, since I no longer have a license it's pretty obvious no one can take it from me! I hope everyone enjoys these. For the next series I'll probably head back to the Alps and see if this new ORBX makes changes there. Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

liner simpilot Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 You sure fly into & out of perfect places with the Goose. You're like me, once they take your PPL away, they cannot take it away again, especially because you are using FS. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMLW Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Nice T&G in the rowing pond Michael. :cool: :cool: I think that is where Jan practices his water landings. :D Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Nice T&G in the rowing pond Michael. :cool: :cool: I think that is where Jan practices his water landings. :D Thing is, normally, one lands ON the water, as Michael did so nicely. JAN, on the other hand, lands IN the water. Usually in planes that were never made to have anything to do with water, other than an occasional wash, or the stuff they serve the passengers. Presuming the passengers can unfreeze from their stark-staring terror long enough to even desire water, or ask for it. After one flight with His Peerness, they want nothing to do with water the rest of their natural lives. Normally they just sit in their seats, clutching their flotation devices, and praying frantically to their preferred deity. But hey, at least they usually get pretty close to where they're going...:rolleyes: :p ;) :pilot: Have fun all! Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

flightsimg Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 "he's calling his family he made a safe landing" LOL I also appreciate the welcoming and agreable aspect of the company's lounge.

Downwind66 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 There's a lot to drink :D;):D You know, Jan, everytime someone submits a reply to this post, Michael is getting credit for 2 more seaplane landings in his Goose! And he does a better job of doing it than your business class clients do! And his shoes never get wet! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 It wasn't that bad! :mad: All passengers could easily leave the plane, the water wasn't deep and we were only half a mile from the airport! So.... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 I have to admit, in some ways that may make sense? Getting hit by spinning prop certainly couldn't have been an issue!!

azzaro Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Mustn't question the Great Airman's landing skills. That would Sully his reputation. Besides, that's all water under the bridge. Or rather, cockpit. :rolleyes: -- Bob [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-7700 3.6GHz / GTX1660 6GB / 32GB RAM / 49" Samsung CHG90 / WIN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Listen my friends, Bob and his wife Elizabeth spent a little vacation in Amsterdam and we had lots of fun!
