My First Flight

Mike Bridge · Post by **Mike Bridge** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 4:20 am

For my first flight RJAA / RPLC, offline just to make sure i am doing everything right before i jump on vatsim.
Think FSAcars worked

it sent something somewhere.

Only thing i was unsure of was which A/C rego to use and what time to fly as neither were in the email of Flight info

So hope i didnt do anything wrong

Now on with the pics
Getting final figures, nearly on the way

Rolling

Lightened pics with photoshop so you could see

Welcome aboard Mike. As ar as the time is concerned, all times refered here are ZULU time and as far as the aircrafts are concerned, there is a posting with wich number to use.

Wow, stunning pics Mike. Currently the aircraft assignments are Polar flights only, we are thinking about adding it to Atlas and DHL. For Atlas and DHL flights fly an appropriate tail number (pick a 742 tail number if you want to fly it as a 742) and if no time is listed on your charter that means it's an open time, you can leave when you want. Most charters have a departure time on them but I've seen the occasional few that don't. On charters, set the date to the real world date because the date isn't posted with charters.

Mike, I was disappointed to see that the old original flying tigers was not a part of that site or maybe I missed something.

No it isnt unfortuantely.
You just have the airlines listed on the page.
Then you can fly Star Alliance, One World etc flights as long as they depart from a Gateway city
of the major airlines.

Plus for the Virgin Group of FTG, you can Fly, Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Nirgeria, Virgin US, Virgin Blue Australia etc

Tis good mate, been in Computer Pilot Mag before like GC. But i love GC as it is a dedicated Cargo Airline, the industry i work in for
Qantas

We lease 4 Atlas A/C
Here is a photo i got of one the other day

Extremely nice picture indeed! I am sure FTG is a great group, but with my job, school, and Globe Cargo, I am as busy right now as a one legged man in an A-- kicking contest.

By the way.. Did you notice the difference in the condition of the control yokes? I am sure its a newer replacement in the FO spot, but looks like the pilot is a hog and won't give the FO any seat time!! LOL
