my view of today's sorties...

Wedgy and me somewhere, ready for the off...

Me climbing out of Birmingham...

Just about to start my takeoff roll, as Wedgy cuts across the grass to hog the runway! [-x

...

Formation turn, attempting to slice Wedgy's tail off $\:D/$ ...

then a sequence showing Wedgy trying to recover his landing...

Mayfly aborted...

good fun today - thanks both

That was good fun

Was nice to fly an 'elephant' of the skies for a change

I believe this is called a wheels up landing...

With SM, decided to go from Miami to Havana in our Mighty C17s

SM turned before he even took off =))

Me, with my pants down

SM formating on me

SM landing :))

Then Mayfly joined us. So we decided to recreate the VC10/558 formation from Brize on Saturday.
Heres me in 558s possition on Saturday

Lined up

We gave up on SM, he was full of 1000 excuses why his "Plane wouldnt work" .... one reason was because he was at max throttle with his spoilers out =))

So I decided to do lots of formating on MF.

The next few shots are the closest we got

(Notice our old friend FSXPilotStew joined in, in his Victor

)

SM ... erm ..... landing *cough* =))

good fun today took lots of shots on my camera as when I take them in close formation FSX seems to freeze - unfortunately one or two show a few lines but on the whole pretty pleased

just show how close we got [or didn't] to emulating 558s formation with the 2 VC10s last Saturday

and then we were joined by FSX pilot stew how formated with me for a while - don't know who he is but he's good note his aircraft shows a nimrod as I don't have the Victor installed

Nice to see 4 Bounces living up to his nickname

by **Saracenman** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 5:58 pm

wasn't quite myself today - only managed three =))

my screenies from today...

Wedgy and me lined up in our Poo-stinkers, at MIA

formation poo

it's such a wallowing TRUCK! :((

proper aeroplanes now - Wedgy in 558 with Mayfly and me in VC10 C1Ks, departing from Brize

various formation shots with FSXpilotStew in his Victor

trying to catch the others up, once I'd realised that max chat with spoilers deployed isn't the best way to make progress =))

then we all made for Kirkwall - Wedgy and i sat and watched Mayfly's 'interesting' landing - i never knew it was possible to do a stoppie and skid-turn in a VC10 =))

sorry Mackrick - after Mayfly and i are finished with the Ten fleet, Brize will look like

the interesting thing was when she took off & flew by herself for 30 mins - amazing things happen when the throttle sticks :))

by **Saracenman** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 6:10 pm

blimey, have you nicked my 'Book of Lame Excuses'? =))

by **Cluny** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 6:24 pm

Looks like you all had fun

Just one question , where did you get the VC10 from ?

by **Mackrick** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 6:33 pm

Looks like you all had a great flight. Some nice screen shots of how not to land
