Well I was going to fly from Hong Kong to Jakarta but...

Its 6:00 AM and Garuda 300 makes its way to the runway.

Climbing out of Hong Kong. Visiblity just under 1 mile.

About 15 minutes after pushback and #2 engine fails. I managed to get it restarted but decided to turn back.

About 10 miles out #1 engine fails. At that point it was realying on gps to at least get me to a runway. About 300 feet above the ground we break out of the clouds. Barely had time to make any corrections before slamming into 25L.

Finaly on the ground and taxing back to the gate when I saw Garuda 202 on final so I decided to stop and watch it land. Snow had just started to fall.

He sure had a lot smoother landing then I had Roll Eyes

Parked at the gate 202 right beside me.

Thanks

Sam,
All you have to do is go to Aircraft, System Failiers.

But this acualy was not planned. I did not set for any failiers. Aparently I over stressed the engines on takeoff.

PS. to me my pics seem a bit blury. do they look that way to everyone else or is it just my computer???
