valero Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) Ran out of gas on approach and landed on the grass, easy on the rudder! Flying the world is exciting with adults in charge! Its a pity that this is no longer as it shows in MSFS. May God have mercy on the courageous Ukrainian people. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/attachment.php?attachmentid=229423&d=1646464264 Edited April 1, 2022 by valero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsproles Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 From LKZE Jiricky in the Czech Republic to LKVL Vlasim via Borovsko in my C 152. Both these are grass strips. There is a lonely four lane concrete bridge in the reservoir at Borovsko. It was built by the Germans during WWII as part of a central European highway. There is no highway, just the bridge. A reservoir was built after the war and the water comes up to the deck although MSFS shows it to be under the surface.

stinger2k2 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 No pics but i took a nice flight around Washington DC today. The first time that i have flown there in a flight sim even though i have been simming since the 1980's.(embarrassing!) Great bit of sightseeing. I took off from Ronald Reagan and finished over at Dulles. I couldn't see any aircraft on the ground at Andrews which I thought a bit odd, but that may be down to my personal traffic settings.

nsproles Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Today I visited the huge abandoned Soviet airbase at Bayantal in Mongolia. It is about 70 nm SE of Maananit (ZMMA) on a heading of 154 degrees magnetic or just follow the road and railway line The runway was almost 2 miles in length and there are revetments still for about two squadrons of MiG 21 and 23 that were based there. The Soviet style apartment blocks are still there. MSFS shows the airfield as being grass, not the concrete that it still is, but I had no problem landing my C 152 there. It is literally in the middle of nowhere. There is nothing around but the steppe and it must have been a miserable posting.

kingnorris Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I haven’t figured out how to post screens just yet, so I’ll just verbalize… I’m now a “pilot†for Spirit Airlines. Flew from Vegas to Chicago O’Hare. (FBW A320.) departure at 0800 Pacific time. Landed at 1330 Eastern. Bit choppy over Denver and lots of wind shear as I got close to Chicago. Near perfect landing.

gordonbennett Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 If you go to Spilsby island which is near Port Lincoln you will see a shack or two on the northern side of the island. A half acre block of land is for sale overlooking the sea for $49,000 AUD ($34,666 USD). With no permanent inhabitants this would be the perfect getaway for the antisocial.
