They're starting the engines now

Unfortunately I can't get the links...maybe it' because I'm in Finland??

[airboatr]

Sorry for the delay, they're finished with the live feed, take off went perfectly

except the rookie news reporter calling people idiots..

OK folks how many here plan on simming this? I'll give it a go in my old RFP 747-200.It's times like these I wish I had bought the PMDG.

OK Landing was no big deal, but perhaps the 200 is under powered I could not get off the ground. Barely got to 120kts by the end of the runway on 30% fuel load.

[Chris Sykes]

Reminds me of the time when at RAF Syerston some chap in a Cessna lands on the runway, turns left off the runway over live winch cables and wonders why a load of RAF yellow defenders pounce on him!!! He was meant to be landing at Langar 9 miles to the south!

I just got the default 744 out of there on 30% fuel and the default load no problem. Gad knows where I landed but it was only up the road. Must be a problem in that part of the world

Happen to see Dorthy or a witch on a broom did ya?

[Airspeed]

Didn't know those actual details, Chris, but as I said, how could it happen these days?
I spoke to the air controller who was talking down that 707.
He was increasingly concerned that he wasn't sighting the Boeing, but the pilot apparently misread the light pattern on a gasometer, and was convinced that he was on course.
You'd think that GPS and improved tracking would have eliminated all that by now. Just goes to show.

Don't forget the C-17 that landed at a light airfield in the US a little while ago
