    For me it’s got to be on an MYT 752 from MAN-ALC. The flight was already delayed 3 hours due to tech. faults, so we taxiied out and spooled up, lifted the nose wheel and then slammed the nose back down and full reversers were deployed. Was very cool but scary 😀

    I think we need a better flight planner, fancy not finding out when the runway is only 5000ft Sam! :diablo:, joking mate :D.

    Well I knew that you were a master at take-off’s so I thought I would give you a small challenge:D :diablo: Nice screenshots though!! Shame that the tour wont carry on for about a month seeing as I’m off for a little tour of America myself 😀

    Great news for MAN. Looks like GSM really do have their sights set on long-haul from MAN. Maybe we could expect a GLA-MAN-YYZ-MAN-GLA over the winter?

    Good luck to them 😀

    “After 10 minutes at cruising altitude, the pilot switched on the seat-belt signs and announced we were ready for our DECENT into EDI.” 😮

    Thanks for the replies. I have also flown on many 757’s (I’m always stuck on one of them damn thngs) and have found their IFE system’s quite poor. They were with charter airlines though, which made me think Continental’s IFE on the 757’s would be different. On the way back from America, i’m flying on an Air France A343, so this might be alot better in terms of IFE. Anyone know about this? Thanks again.

    Thanks very much. You know the actuall ‘in air’ time for the flight from MAN-EWR? And is there any chance the flight will be changed to the more suited 767-400:P
