After ariving in Monteal from Cancun I decided to take a Lear to Vancouver and catch the 9 AM flight to Hong Kong.

A slow and heavy climb out of Vancouver.
...
Turning for Hong Kong.
...
11.5 hours into the flight and we begin out deccent.
...
Making a slow turn for final.
...
Runnway just ahead.  A light crosswind picks up as we drop through 1500 feet.
...
At the gate.  A company A330-300 prepares to taxi out for departure to Singapore.
...

As for my next stop, Kuala Lumpur.

good job!  I like the approach shot (2nd to last) the best.

HKG is one of the few places in FS where there are default gates! Roll Eyes

I''ve never been the biggest fan of the A343- I think the engines look like oversized hairdryers. Grin
I do however, like that livery a lot!

Keep them coming.

Thanks  Smiley

I to agree that the engines look like hairdryers.  Who knows maby they are ???  Of coarse finding four 5500+ mile extention cords might be a problem. Roll Eyes Grin
