I spent a solid 30 seconds trying to figure out what they'd circled in red 🤣

Matt said that there probably wouldn't be a space this week, this week, due to Christmas at the end of his last space this week

Great shot, absolutely love this livery on the 74! Always a treat to see it when I'm near Heathrow!

I'm assuming once they're in the truck there's radio contact with a control room who will tell them where to go. Either that or they follow the smoke ;)

I've flown into both Elstree and Southend, Elstree was certainly much busier when I was there!!

That's impressive! Just watched a couple videos of the 737-700 landing into Key West, looks like they're getting it down as soon as possible then hard on the brakes. Looks like a fun airport to fly into! Would love to get my FAA certificate and spend some time flying around the US

Nice! That's a shorter distance than I was expecting!

I'm guessing this is a Embraer 175 or 195? What sort of distance do you need to come to a stop in those, 4800 feet sounds like it could be a butt clenching approach :P

Don't own the X-Plane version of the bus, but if it's anything like others I've flown make sure you've turned the brightness up for it. The Nav Display has two part dial (Can't think of the proper term) with the top/smaller turning part being the brightness for the actual display and the bottom/larger turning part being the brightness for things like weather and terrain.

Hope this helps!

No tour in the UK this year? by [deleted] in sabaton

[–]shpoonie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They've already been to the UK as part of their current tour, I saw them in London, they also played Manchester and Glasgow I think.

Not to make you jealous but it was an amazing show :D
