Well it is finally time to say goodbye to my old VAIO System with the Gforce video card. It logged hundreds of hours and gave me many memorable flights. I look forward to getting into my new “cockpit” soon enough! Still working on it, see NEW specs below!
My final flight on this system was in the beautiful MD-11 repainted by the well-respected texture tinkerer, Garry Smith. His repaints are available at
http://gjsmith.net/I took off from an airport at the southern tip of Florida at dusk. The moon was setting in the West and the sun was rising in the East! I headed up the Gulf coast for about an hour and turned around to head back to Miami Int. It was a wonderful flight.
I posted this series in three parts because I thought my old system deserved to go out in style! Thanks old friend....you served well!! I hope you like!!
The tower gives us clearance to depart the gate as the full moon looks on.
Cleared the gate and spooling to wards take-off.
Making final adjustments for take-off as the jet rolls along.
Cleared to enter the runway, I see the early risers entering the church for morning services.
One of the church-goers took this shot as I commenced my turn onto the runway!
As the three huge engines thrust us into the sky, my wings create contrails against the sky.
Climbing out against a pink morning sky.
Hope you like!!
