With the release of the latest service pack for FSX, I have now moved on from FS9. Currently testing the FSX version of the Boeing 767-300 made by Level-D Simulations. Flying Copenhagen/Kastrup to Thule AFG on Northern Greenland. Also using ActiveSky for FSX with XGraphics by HiFi Simulation Software. Very nice!
Finishing up the day with a short hop with the PA-28 Archer II from Stockholm/Bromma to Västerås. On base for rwy 19 at ESOW in the above screen shot. More or less following the E18 high way to get established on a short final in order to get in in front of another Archer further out. Flying at night is really beatiful with all the lights from cities and roads.
Switched from heavy airliners to the Carenado Piper Pa-28 Archer II. Currently flying VFR from Booker, High Wycombe to Newcastle in the UK with the British Airways Virtual Flying Club.
RAF Squadron Leader Neville Duke died on 7 April 2007 in Chertsey, England at age 85. Duke collapsed shortly after taking a flight with his wife in his private aircraft and passed away in hospital later the same day.
Duke was a fighter pilot and ace with the Royal Air Force in World War II. Later he became a test pilot. In 1953 he set a new world air speed record achieving approximately 1 170 kilometers per hour in the Hawker Hunter.
His orbituary can be read at the Daily Telegraph website.
More Scandinavian VA Cargo. Climbing out of Singarpore with the Level-D Boeing 767-300. Next stop is Darwin in Australia. My first ever flight to Darwin I think.
