The stats are final. I won't be updating this blog with pictures for a while after this.
The Air Canada 767 boards at Gate 137. It took a lot of editing to get the jetway attached to the airplane:
Next, the plane is pushed back after a dispute with a fuel truck:
The plane sits on the tarmac as those mighty General Electric GE CF6-80C2 engines start up. MAN! You have to BE here to hear those engine sounds! What power they exhibit:
So now, the plane taxiis to the runway. I tell you, it's pretty amazing to see the airport lighting just flicker on in front of you. Light bloom is on for this shot:
Now, the plane lifts off at 7:15 PM Eastern at 153 kts.! I used just 90% N1 to speed up, the plane was that light. Those engines spooling up...man oh man....
Climbout as seen from the cabin:
Passing a Canadian freeway as the plane is now on autopilot and follows the set course to Halifax. It really is a sight to see the wings flexing and bouncing during turbulence:
Finally over the cloud layer but still battling turbulence:
Final sunset at 39000 feet and an almost record-breaking speed of 685.87 mph (my record is 692.77 mph in a 777 at 41,000 feet):
Descending through the clouds and turning to follow the vectors for CYHZ Runway 24:
I turned on the landing lights. The result, in the darkness, is that a passenger would see their light splashed all over the wings:
Pretty much following this highway to Halifax Int'l Airport:
Runway in sight!
So a bit of a rough landing on Halifax Stanfield Int'l Airport's Runway 24:
Shutting down at Gate 24 as the Icelandair Boeing 757-200 next to me gets pushed back, on his way to Iceland, no doubt:
Another job well done by Captain Prad!

A dispute, I see, between the plane and truck. This leads me to look at another strange combination of contenders. In this corner, Godzilla. In this corner, Winnie the Pooh.
That seems fantastic! I would've loved to be there. You really are big on your screenshots you goose...:D. Glad you enjoyed your flight, and sometime you should plan our route from here to Italy, mk?
I sure will. Nonstop, or perhaps a stopover on the east coast? If I find a good jet for FSX, I will post screens of that flight here.
Thanks Vid!
I mean, up to you. :)
