It's always good to see the DHL 757's departing STN in the early hours. They depart empty, always ask for a direct climb to whatever level and go up like a rocket! The 757 is definitely an aircraft that seems to go up more than it goes forwards given the right conditionsNigel H-J wrote: ↑26 May 2020, 19:50Thanks Andy, now as I am a pensioner of DHL I just wonder what the chances are of a jump seat ride from East Midlands!!Nigel,
I have just had a look and the FlyJSim 727 professional pack does come with DHL colours as standard. Love flying the Freighters myself, aswell as CBFS I fly for a fed Ex virtual aswell so fly their paint mostly when ont in a Dan-Air -200!

Re: X-Plane Sale Now On.
Yeah, I always loved watching or flying on a 757, oodles of power and nice clean lines.
Looking at the rumours regarding Boeing it would be interesting if they dropped the 797 and went down the route of a 757 and indeed 767 -x model!

The 757 is my favourite Boeing, it was just beautifully crafted. The 767 is the ugly sister imho.

Re: X-Plane Sale Now On.
Could not resist it any longer......... Purchased the 727 and found that there are three variants to download as well as all the manuals, then the setting up which does not take too long although you have to reload that damned thing after each registration.
Have taken a few flights mainly in circuit to get the feel of it and am very pleased with it so far!!
It says 'Whisper Jet' on top of number 2 engine.............Whisper Jet my *rse..........about as loud as the Trident!!
No longer with us but remembered fondly............even if it were only for the paint scheme!
DHL kinda looks dwarfted next to the FedEx
No glass cockpit here I'm pleased to say......Nothing like flying VOR to VOR.
