My European Airlines (EA) Kept Working Meanwhile!

Okay!, those WW2 warplanes for my collection were fine. But!, that did not forbid my European Airlines (EA) Boeings of keeping on their scheduled lines! Kidding; didn't really flew except in my mind :):):)

Here is a flight from Zagreb, Croatia to Rome Fiumicino with the Boeing 737-200

 

 

 

 

All cleared at the tarmac of Zagreb Pleso Intl, or Franjo-Tuđman (LDZA)

 

 

 

Prepare for takeoff! (runway 23)

 

 

 

Pax view on the climb

 

 

 

Cruising at FL 240

 

 

 

Our descent brought us above Rome

 

 

 

Turning to intercept the ILS!

 

 

 

After landing procedure and checklist

 

 

 

We just arrived at the gate at Rome Fiumicino (or da Vinci–Fiumicino), LIRF. All moving around the plane

 

-- all my flights with:

.boxed FSX Gold Edition with the Acceleration Pack

.my plane, a Cantu/Kittyhawk Boeing 737-200ADV I tweaked under several aspects, and made liveries for; using the ENBSeries for FSX freeware to improve light bloom from inside the flightdeck, the pax or outside views

.some miscellaneous freeware improvements (tarmac textures, pax window view, and the like with some airport aprons, taxiways and runways improved by me from the FSX default) and the airports I flew to/from improved with photoreal textures through the freeware FS Earth Tiles software

.people on the tarmacs, my creation with personalized default FSX people

.weather with http://www.plane-pics.de/fsxwx/home.htm FSXWX

.the freeware shader adjuster rdart78 and textures set

.flightplan, when needed, partly with the https://www.simbrief.com/ simBrief site

.when needed flight doc with the e-AIP sites of countries concerned --

It is good to see your EA 737 back in action Gerard. Very nice shots of this flight. Well done. :cool: :cool: :)

Thanks much Larry. Me I'am glad too to fly again. Each time I saw your or others's posts, that gave me envy to fly, but not much time lately.

Nice cold flight Gerard! Love that aircraft and the window view is really awesome! :pilot:

Thanks DAVIDSTRAKA. Yep, snow was still well present in Croatia, and here and there in Italy!

Just took off out of Saginaw, Michigan in a snow storm. I just love real weather :)

Usually, real weather is the best to fly. Further, that provides a sense of random :pilot: like in RW

Good to see your business is still running Gerard, love to see your Boeing again! :cool::cool::cool:

Thanks Peer! I also was glad to be back to the helm :cool: :cool:

Enjoyed it

I'd keep heading south today!

European weather has been tough past few weeks!

Thanks! On the other hand, once those heavy winds over, I think winter's end is about the corner! :) Like a balcony gardener I'm eagerly waiting to be back to cultural activities! :)

Oh, eeeeh, Gerard, remember I made you an offer to take over your little charter company? For some reason you refused to take my offer (not too smart :mad:). Here's my final offer: You give me the company + 6 crates of Chablis, and I'll take care you'll be the first Sultan of Bagansi-Api-Api. Sounds great HUH! TSK! It will be life-changing for you and a great cultural activity. "Sultan Gerard the First". Sounds good isn't it? Edited February 12, 2020 by peer01

Looks a fine offer! :):) I knew you were a lot acquainted with miscellaneous underworlds! But there, that's turning great! Is Bagansi-Api-Api also the place where doctors' heirs and widows are looking help to get into possession of heritage? I would be tempted!

Yes it is! So it's a deal? Yes? Tomorrow I start rebuilding your planes into freighters. You may keep the seats. Oh, being the Sultan of Bagansi-Api-Api, you have to marry at least 30 wives btw. Don't worry, I did the screening. :rolleyes: Edited February 12, 2020 by peer01

Hey! 30 wives, I really will need the seats, and even the planes! Because a mail just warned me that a coup has just occurred in Bagansi-Api-Api

You don't need a plane. No airfield in Bagansi-Api-Api. You need camels!

Wonder what was the last time you visited Bagansi-Api-Api. With the sale of oil, the sultanate have endured a large and profitable growth. Never thought you would be cute enough to all your late offers!
