HS748 cockpit woes

For some reasons they wore no title.

They ran one up under the back of an Iberia A.340

I speak under correction here about the airline, but it was an HS 748 that crashed in the mountains outside FAGG and killed our disgraced cricket captain Hansie Cronje. Aparently the ILS on Runway 29 was out and the guy still tried to stick it on in really bad weather in the middle of winter. Conspiracies abound about that one.

Didn't they lose two in a very short space of time??...a week of so maybe. The one you mention being one of those two

If memory serves me correctly that's quite correct. I'll check up on that one though.

Man oh man, what a lovely and responsive aircraft. She hand flies like a dream.

Absolutely, I'm now going to see if the Viscount works in FSX. But all I can say is awesome plane. Good support and hopefully some good online mates

seems like a winning deal to me.

Oh, btw, The other bird is Intensive Air. They a charter and freight operation. They do have offices down here, but I seem to recall that their main base is at Lanseria to the west of JHB. Also got some nice screenshots of Pelican now flying over Table Bay when I did my test flight. Nothing wrong with this sort of guilty pleasures. I'm just crossing fingers that the Viscount will work in FSX. I know some FS9 birds do and some don't. I was looking at that 1-11. I remember Air Malawi flying those on the Blantyre - FAJS run. We also had them flying with Nationwide. That airline of ours that later used 727-100 and 737-200 ADV's As some of you may recall one of the 737's lost an engine on take off out of FACT and the crew managed to keep her airborn, circle and dump fuel and land in terrible weather. Subsequently Nationwide was grounded and then closed altogether.

The Viscount is fine in FSX... and so is the Vanguard... all very beautiful models!
