Thank you Roy and Michael! I had been having so much fun with the 777, I was hesitant to switch up to the 747. But then, the -800 got released! lol...

I am really looking forward to flying this beautiful airplane!

Thank you for all the work you two, and the other staff put into DVA for us!

I just looked at the check ride. You did a great job flying it Erik! Its the same one I created a while back. its not easy to get that 747 slowed down and down to altitude for approach and you handled it really well!

Congratulations Erik! I remember flying the T7 myself and then became so intrigued with PMDG 747-400 QOTSII. Love flying this amazing Queen. Congratulations again! Enjoy the Queen! smile
