The time has arrived for Mic (4 wins) to go for that coveted 5th straight. He's got a game competitor in Soames, so let's make this a really interesting category. Here's your deal gentlemen:

This entry actually involves 5 pics.
The year is 1977. Pan Am Boeing 747 sets a speed record for circling the globe over both poles on a 26,383 mile flight from San Francisco in 54 hours, 7 minutes and 12 seconds. Your task is to use the appropriate aircraft/livery and take shots from 1) Take off from the appropriate airport..... 2,3,4) find the re-fuelling stops and shoot your aircraft on the ground re-fuelling at each one, ( you must identify the airports or fuel stops as well) then finally 5) a shot of it landing again to complete its record flight, of course again at the appropriate airport. This one is going to take a bit of research and time, so you both have until Sunday 5 p.m. GMT to post your series. Good luck and we'll be waiting... Wink

Mic, no problem.

I hope Soames sees this in time to get his entries in.

Blimey! This will be interesting.

I've never used the jumbo before. I guess it's time to learn how to:

A: fly the jumbo.

B: use slew.

C: fly the jumbo and use slew.

Guess I'm not going to be able to do this......as some may know my PC has been playing up recently....well now whenever I try and fly the Posky 747SP it randomly turns all AA off and blurrs all the textures......a solution would be welcome, if there is none then Soames wins

Ok here we go...the livery changes a little, but that's cos I kept having to reinstall the aircraft and reload the textures for each shot quickly before they went grey again.... a couple were taken un anti aliased, but the resizing seems to have helped them

KSFO takeoff (Over half moon bay)

LHR refuel

Cape Town refuel

Auckland refuel

Landing back at KSFO

Tom, we continue. Mic goes for the insanely impossible 10 straight wins to get a second pic into the Gallery. Be wary though, the categories are going to continue getting more challenging as we progress.

Phew! This was hard. Mic's shots, as all ways are quite brilliant. Tough competition.

Take off from San Francisco

First Stop: London

Then Cape Town

Auckland

And then, back home.
