My readback message to JFK Tower: 

"One Two Eight at One Two, Climb over the bridge, Cleared for Take off, Three One Left, American 2297 Heavy"

Passengers get a rush of adrenaline as we lift off with the JFK Tower in the dark morning background.

Reverse thrust as we slow down to taxi speed.

Just pulled up to the terminal.  Couldn't have waited any longer to get out of the plane to feel the nice warm weather!

Company aircraft as we liftoff..

Up, up here we go, go!  (And up go the gear!)

To quote my words as this moment, "F*&k, this is a beautiful plane."

Busy skies over Tokyo..

Thanks to First Class once again, saying, "Siyonara, Tokyo!"

Crossing the Sea of Japan

Coastline of the Korean Peninsula.

Lovely visibility, no?

The spotters were out again ~ Thank you!

Everything about this plane is beautiful..

Home of HL7611 for a few days, then it's back home to bring this adventure to a close! #sosad ;-)

VISUAL HIGHLIGHTS (Singapore 861 SUPER)

Last night was an adventure as I made my way from Virtual Hong Kong International (VHHH/HKG) to Changi International Airport (WSSS/SIN) aboard Singapore Flight #861on the first leg of my Virtual A380 Tour on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.  The weather was pretty muggy with low visibility in both locations with shifting winds, however, when we were at cruising it was pretty nice.  About an hour into the voyage we hit sunset and when we touched down it was already pitch black.  Flight time was approximately two hours and forty-five minutes as our TAS (True Air Speed) was circa 485kts.  Add-on for this equipment is provided by Project Airbus.  You all are the greatest - PA!

 Passenger in First Class Suite #2A on the Main Deck, presented this visual for us scraping the coast of Vietnam.

 After an hour and fifteen minutes, the sun starts to go down...

 We had a rough landing with low visibility and and shifty winds, however, we made it down safely with a nice hard reverse to accompany it.

 Reunited at last...  Ready to go to Melbourne, Australia?  I sure as hell am!

VISUAL HIGHLIGHTS (Cathay 831 Heavy)

Last Wednesday night was an eventful one as I simulated my fourth transpolar operation real time, (15 hours and 05 minutes), and my second one to Hong Kong from the East Coast (KJFK.)  Despite the fact that Cathay Pacific does operate the -200ER series of the 777 in real life, we operated this mission with the fictitious -200LR series as it was the only livery I could find for my payware add-on program, PSS Just Flight 777.  (Still searching for a proper regular -300ER livery!)  The purpose of this simulation was to relocate from the US to Asia so that I may start my Asian/Australian tour of the Airbus 380.

Enjoy the following visual highlights -JC:

 Terminal 7, Gate 6.  Making last minute preparations before we push.

 Making way past Terminal 6 on ALPHA.  Of course, I had to get a JFK Tower shot!

Waiting to line up for 22R

 Ready to go.

 Full throttle and rolling.

 Rotate.

 Putting up the gear as we rocket out of 22R.

 Making way to heading 090, due east awaiting clearance to turn again and intercept MERIT.

Turning to head for our interception of MERIT/HFD/PUT SID.  We were a bit choppy up here but loving it! :-)
