Shalom and greetings all my pals,
If all of you are wondering why I mentioned this plane that is not British, you will find the answer after reading this exciting screenshot report about this plane making British aviation history.
Presenting a nice Wardair flight from CYWG Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada to CYYZ Toronto Pearson International Airport located 14.0 miles northwest of downtown Toronto
At CYWG gate loading up passengers while the other plane was doing same time
Both planes ready for pushback!!
Both planes being pushed back at same time
Starting engines!!!
Both planes taxiing to short of runway 18 via taxiways F and T
Taxiing on taxiway F
Crossing runway 07 to head to taxiway T
Entering into runway 18 to hold there waiting for previous 732 to clear its take off path
Still waiting (yeah 732 is too slow)
Airborne after take off on climb to FL310
Nice view of city of Winnipeg where you can see Red River under the plane's nose, the road from engine to bottom of screenshot is called route 155, the road with curve is called route 90 that would later become route 165 after curve, and below the second fin under the plane is area of University of Manitoba
Making left turn toward east with background view of road route number 42
Still turning toward east
Climbing through clouds at 10,000 ft still on ascend to F310
Still climbing to FL310 now at FL200
Reaching FL310 soon
Now cruising at FL310 at mach 0.85
Crossing Lake Superior
Crossing Lake Huron which signals time to descend
On way to runway 15L
Seconds before touchdown
TOUCHDOWN
Braking down on slippery icy runway
Exiting from runway to taxi to Wardair gate
Arriving at the gate
This plane would later made aviation history by becoming the first and only plane to fly 7,776 miles non stop from Hawaii to London
Thank you for viewing!! Stay tuned for next exiting flight!!
Regards,
Aharon
Wardair Fun!!

Re: Wardair Fun!!
You might have actually done the flight yourself Aharon. Winnipeg to Toronto is a bit of a cop-out

Re: Wardair Fun!!
Great screenshots, Aharon.
I well remember Wardair using their DC-10's and B747's into Birmingham.
Our of interest, is the B707 that you use the Captain Sim model?
