Unfortunately, this bird took off and didn't make it back home after I tried to make an emergency landing.  It's destination was Sri lanka from Delhi Intl but unfortunately it didn't make it too far.

I felt a large thud during takeoff, and as you can see something happened to the engines.  I'm not sure what, though.
...

Here I am headed back to the airport, losing control of the plane slightly, and sparking from...somewhere...
...

Now completely losing control of my descent, I make a last ditch effor to bring the plane up in altitude but before I could increase speed a little, I clip a tree about 2 miles from the runway...
...

Boom.  It's over.  Two survivors- one child and a puppy in the cargo bay.  Embarrassed...



Well, it was really a nice plane and unfortunately I crashed it.  Cry

Thanks for the replies guys!

now, can anyone tell me why my plane "hops" on the runway sometimes, causing that large "thud" and thus the smoke from my two engines???

Now, now, you know how they grow trees nowadays, just a pinch of gunpower in the soil.  Adds that extra "spark".

I remember my first Day at the Airport For flight attendant training, and i had to meet the aircraft as the door opened. and yes it was a air India 747.

The aroma that jumped up my nose, as the door was cracked and opened I will never forget. Bad breath mixed with a sickly sweet curry smell, tainted with the waft of 500 armpits.

yes its no wonder the flames are intence  Undecided
