Adios, los Angeles

After a long abscence from flying, I found the time to squeeze in a flight from KLAX-EHAM. It was done in 2 legs, KLAX to KJFK and KJFK to EHAM, totalling 10hr 30mins.
Here is a shot from KLAX


Edit: Comments are appreciated as allways

Hmmmm...nice plane

I like the composition, although I am afraid your passengers were scared a bit at this angle With some AI planes would be better, but I guess it as a reply shot, so no problem at all

I was think the same thing as Robert. I really hope you didn't take off at that angle. Because then I'm afraid that the plane will need some repair and painting when you get to EHAM. I can remember I once tried to take off from KJFK in a A340 at to steep an angle. I'm telling you, the A340 didn't like it. I had to make an emergency landing, because the damage to tail end of the aircraft, and because it had begun smoking

That's definitely too steep an angle to take off with......the most you should go is till the bottom part of the tail of the plane is parallel to the ground anyway nice buildings in the background!

[EHM-1343 Jonathan]

The take off angle was only 10-15 degrees nose up so I don't think it was that bad.  Must be the angle of the photo. No damage was done though. It was done in the replay so the AI planes dissapeared. It really was quite busy

thats a pretty normal takeoff i would say.. it seems his is a fair way above the runway so increasing the angle to that isnt a problem.. ive seen planes taking off from an airport near me at a very very steep angle.. the quicker you can get off the ground in a place like KLAX with tall buildings around the better..!!

[EHM-1343 Jonathan]

Yeah thats what I thought, you should see some of my landings if you think that is bad, LOL:]:$

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Then spread the shots ! We are hungry to see the landing ones too.

[EHM-1343 Jonathan]

OK here goes.



I usualy tend to bump along for a bit then go off center.

Hmm, it looks like that Boeing has lost a couple of pound and has gotten a big makeover. I really hope that you didn't all of the passengers from the Boeing into that TU-204

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Very nice Since I had a joystick, my landings improved very much, mainly the tracking, and speed control. But I somehow still not feel the ground -or just do not follow the radio altitude gauge - and usually bounce up at the first try from the ground.

LOL

Practice makes (nearly) perfect :8
