Since the landing on the top of a small island, using a 747 didn't seem to do the trick, I was asked for a different bird........

Airbus A 340-600........landed and departed .....

Looking at that last pic brings back a thought I had when I was taxiing back for my take-off run....those wings are really flexible and do move....its not an illusion of the angle of the fuselage........they made the spars like rubber in that plane,...honest..... Shocked

yes, some designers can give the wing the ability to flex, like the meljet 777.

Now, now Dave.....not nice to call names  ??? ....I just like to fly and rise to challenges..... 8) surely don't want to be known as a real " Bus Driver " although they have wings and I will fly anything at the drop of a hat......OK OK you caught me !  Roll Eyes .....I have been known to operate one of those heavy " people movers " at certain times.... Grin
I guess I need to do it more, incognito........ 8)  8)  8)

I guess I do have to admit though, that I had just downloaded this 340 for this very task, and it was my very first time flying it...........hence the livery...........its true, I was a total Virgin when I did this one........
