Longhaul 1: London-Toronto
« on: August 18, 2004, 10:24:31 pm »
Well, if you think cannot see beautiful scenery on long-haul flights, then watch this album. ;D

OK-ok, it was boring over open-sea, but its always boring from 30000'.

This time I took fans and the band itself for the Prince concert in Toronto. We took the plane in London City, and landed after schedule in Toronto City. Again, far from hungry eyes because of VIP pax.

Preparations on the ground at London City EGLC:


Passing nice objects in London, after takeoff:



Perhaps, not an official Compton SID, but it looks really nice, flying over one of our HUBs:


Flying with moon, as we left Shannon control:


Flying over Boston area. Passengers finsihed watching movie.


Approaching over the Lake Ontario:


Amazed by clouds...


On final approach...yes, ladies and gentlemen we will land on that small island ;D


Parked at the Toronto City airport. Davids...and Goliath:


A final city scene. Farewell Toronto:


The concert was superb. Next time we go to Washington for another concert.

See you soon.

Nice one robert. Incredible scenery around Toronto. Like Lim says. The one of EGLL is great, it looks very realistic

I have never, ever seen a jet land on Toronto island...that runway in real life at least is around 3000 feet so that must have been a difficult landing...

If you land it at max 130 kias with full flaps, than you can easily stop the plane before the water ;)

You can try it also at Meigs Field, the default airport in FS2002.
