...this truck drive has it!  I was taking off out of Sao Paulo to go to Rio and this crossed just before I rotated! Grin

...

The Mustang looks good...but I think it could look better Wink
...

Did you know that Brazil is one of Cessna's best markets?  I just read that today...it was interesting.  LABACE starts tomorrow,so I'm sure there will be a couple people flying their Mustangs to Rio, maybe looking to get into something bigger

JESUS CHRIST! Get it?
...

Comments welcome.  Also, I'd love to hear other peoples stories of brave traffic/ai Cheesy

Wow nice pictures. Though I dont really like the mustang/500 series I prefer the citation x.
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Brave AI
Here's what happened:
(this is in FS9) I was coming in to land at Snohomish in a Boeing 747-400 after taking off from Seattle-Tacoma.  I was making a straight in to runway 34L and I was cleared to land, and a Piper Cherokee had been given the "cleared to land runway 34L, follow the Boeing 747-400 on final."  So I expected it to be right behind me.  But boy was I wrong. The little piper was about 250 feet ahead of me and about 100 feet below me and I didn't see him.  (and this is all happening about 500-1000 feet from the airport)  And since I was on a higher approach speed than he was being a big jet instead of a much smaller single engine, when he touched down, I was 100-75 feet right above him and the runway coming down at a rate of about -100 to -500 per minute. And right then the ATC told me to go around, and when I was just 100-75 feet above that poor Piper Cherokee and the runway!!!  I still have no I dea how I managed to go around without landing on the runway or crushing that poor Piper pilot who was probably scared to his digital death. (or his aircraft)  All I remember is applying full throttle, letting off that 29% of speed brake I had on and pulling back on the digital stick.  Thank goodness when the ATC gave me permission to land on runway 16R (the same runway from the other end) that they made sure that no other aircraft had been given permisson to land or takeoff.  I guess those digital fools learned their lesson, and thank goodness!!! 

Here's a I didn't get any photo's of it actually happening, but here's a little remake of it.
