Continuing the tour, here we are lifiting off the rather short runway at REK to head to JFK. Was close I tell you, crosswind didn’t help!

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

Tom, i could have spent all day in that spot! It would have been much better than spending my time, feeling ill after riding the Manhattan Express TOO many times 😀

But with the Heat and UV index, there was no point in being there until early evening, and anway, as i’m sure you’ll know, it didnt get busy till after 6!

:EDIT: We didnt go to the arrivals hall in LAS Tom, as we drove up from Phoenix 😎 And, the Luxor, is one mad hotel, Fighter Pilot was on at IMax, well worth the $11 i paid!

Ahhh I should of known about you driving, just my bad memory :p , there’s also a Cessna inside the arcade in the Luxor that’s a flightsim. I got the highest score and inputted my name, wonder if it’s still there? :diablo: . Anyway going too much off topic :dev2: 😀 .

Fantastic Elgan! really like your LAS shots, that’s a great little spot isn’t it and a brill hotel, nice choice :D. Happen to see the Cessna hanging in the arrivals hall at LAS? 😉

Happy Birthday indeed :D.

Nice shots Tom, been a busy day for Britannia 001. Touching down on RWY 19 at Reykjavik on the second flight of it’s world tour after a journey from PIK and BHX. Me flying and Sam (ManchesterSam) planning the entire routing! 🙂 😎 the entire flightplan is….

BHX-PIK-RKV-JFK-MCI-SLC-LAX-PPT-AKL-MEL-PER-CGK-HKT-MNL-NRT-HKG-BOM-DXB-IST-MAD-AMS-BHX

With the possibility of others being added, estimated time of completion anyone?! :diablo: :dev2:

Manged to replace the default FS touchdown smoke with this freeware effect off Avsim. Not a bad landing if I do say so myself! :diablo: enjoy :D.

Great selection Rob! AMS meet draws ever closer :D.

Stem cell research is a good thing but it will prolong the life expectancy of everyone, that off course, puts pressure on resources and the environment.

Yes but it can also be said that availibility of resources to support the population growth will also increase. The fact that the Earth has already coped with the massive growth in the human population up till now, why will it not continue to do so? it’s unlikely that there will be a major population/resource crisis in the next few hundred years.

Possible new technologies developed by humans will also allow future increases in population to be supported at a high standard of living
