Good morning Peter!!!

Yep it is me from Canadian Pilots Forums!!! I also saw you posting superb screenshots on flightsim forums and tried to say hi to you on your screenshot threads but you did not recognize or remember me before. LOL

Now you recognize or remember me here :welldone: :welldone: :hello: :hello:

I recently saw an interesting documentary program by Smithsonian about Tridents and I was surprised that because of England's government laws concerning noise pollution, pilots of Tridents must reduce throttle power after take off during long climb. I thought to myself "why in the heck would any pilot want to reduce throttle power after take off during climb????". The program also show Trident pilots saying that Tridents were like sports cars and very fast. Those planes cruise at mach 0.84. I thought "Whoa those Tridents could do simple cruise speed of mach 0.84??".

So I came here to install Trident models into my FSX and am planning to make my first Trident flight soon!!!! I need first to research routes of Northeast airline.

Great to see you here. Please enjoy my screenshots that I post in various aviation forums!!!

Regards,

Aharon

Shalom Peter,

THAT IS AWESOME PHOTO!!!! With awesome screen above throttles that looked like screen showing map. Thanks for the photo!!

As for Canadian Pilots forum, it was not broken. It closed due to unfortunate unexpected death of its owner by the name of Ludo. Canadian Pilots forum was amazing full of lots of Canadian theme screenshots!!

Great to see you again!!

Regards,

Aharon

Peter : looking at that photo ( no beard then I see!) , was it in the descent judging by the jet pipe gauge,( can't see the VSI ) FL284, M 0.85? and about 350Kias?

I do not think it was on descent by looking at the glideslope gauge or whatever it is called that showed the plane was on level. Besides any pilot would NOT pose for photography if his or her plane is in middle of descent :)
