Driver on takeoff from KSWF in New York-USA

Talk about a busy cockpit! Another CS winner.

I have not done long trips as some of you have, but I have stayed
in the traffic pattern shooting landings. Browse the manuals before
you fly, 'cause this is not your average piper cub!  Wink

I see Mark has been out on some long trips - I think for me that's too much like what I did at work.  Grin

With the refueling port I wonder if there is some program to do re-fueling?

I flew today from Dyess AFB, Tx to Minot AFB, ND
A little over 900 miles.

Outstanding airplane!

My new favorite.

This one is real competition for the 707-300 for me.

Awesome screenshot Lou! Definitely worthy of a screenshot of the month competition entry. @Captain Sim - wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more. Wink

With this one I don't have to worry about complaining passengers or some fool trying to skyjack me! My 4 other crew members on my first landing were very unimpressed, as was I. I hit the runway really hard. Of course the plane still had 90% fuel on board (a definite no-no) and I feared losing engines if I dumped any. I'll experiment with it later.

I'm soon going to do a 12+ hour flight in this, but all I keep thinking of is Operation Rolling Thunder. I think I'm hanging around too many Viet Nam Veterans! I'll have to give jbntx's flight a try (just for something different).
