30 minutes to go until landing. There is a lot of activity on the ground now too.

I'm also about 120miles south of PAMA now, on my way to PANC along the J804R airway in the PMDG 747F :)

That was quite a nice landing. Now that's what I call a hot approach, the view from the HUD cam was quite fun to watch.
Sonic Boom :)

Wonderful to view it real time as Endevour came in to land.

Can some-one explain what appeared to by flame coming from the rear of the vertical stabilizer when the picture changed to infra-red?

Three sonic booms? Always thought there were two!! :roll:

I only heard 2 Nigel :o

Interesting to hear that central rocket still puffing away. Difficult to see it until they change to IR camera.

Very impressive.. and much better than Richard & Judy :lol:

So that was what it was, the APU thanks Peter.
