Globe Cargo

Awful quiet on the forum so I thought I'd post a couple snaps from today's Emirates Sky Cargo run from Hong Kong to Dubai.

Level at 5000ft on the PECAN 1A departure just after making the right turn over the Tsing Ma Bridge and heading out to the South China Sea. Hainan Island and Vietnam soon to come.


Westbound somewhere over India. Sunglasses required.


Nuttin' fancy.

Nice shots Rick!

Especially the first one. Thanks for sharing

What scenery are you using Rick ?

Its a hodge-podge but mainly using the FlyTampa scenery (payware) of Kai Tak for FS9 which has a nice city scenery of entire HK Island, Kowloon, and Victoria Harbor.

Brogs, and Anyone Else Interested:

Also, if anyone is a Cathay Pacific fan, which I am, here are a couple fun and interesting links for the Swire Mariner's Association flight sim pages. They have a page each for FS9 and FSX. They are a bit dated but contain a lot of information and FS links on Cathay and Kai Tak dating back to their founding right after WWII. Swire is the parent holding company for Cathay Pacific and Dragonair and all their subsidiaries.They are a legacy shipping company, not airlines, therefore the "Mariners" reference.
