Good afternoon fellow pilots,
Just finished another trip with the Mighty Dog. This is the first time that I have made a full trip report like this, so I hope you enjoy.

Just settled in the flightdeck, the aircraft have been fueled for our trip to Honolulu

While boarding we go though the flightplan which will bring us just north of San Francisco before going over the Pacific

Love threads like these! Really gives the sim flight a feel of a real flight! By the way, is that FSX? If its FS9, what scenery are you using? That MD11 is a great bird, isn't she!

Hi guys,
Thank you for your feedback.

Kyle, it is FS9. The Atlanta scenery is Imagine Simulation and Honolulu is from FSDreamteam.
The MD11 is a awesome bird along with the MD80. The MD11 is the reason why I decided to join DVA 6 months ago.

Very nice shots smile

We visited Hawaii last November, and one thing we did was a helicopter tour of Oahu. As the tour ended, we got to fly over the airport and see it from a top-down view. FSDreamteam really does have it spot on.

Only pain was, Obama was in town for Thanksgiving...we had to go through secret service clearance to walk to the helicopter.
