Welll not exactly your typical FS shot but here it is, was flying online earlier with a friend on his server and the final flight was Dublin – Bristol. Used a Direct GPS IFR flightplan and all was simple enough right down to the very last second when I was just about to turn for the ILS for runway 9 at Bristol.
The aircraft wasn’t intercepting the ILS so quickly checked right frequency was in the NAV1 radio etc and that was fine, to my shock and dismay I’d discovered that I’d tried to land at Filton! so went right into action flew over Filton swung round and landed on runway 27 at Bristol International.
Needless to say it was fun, I could blame many things like me with headphones on and listening to music but in the end I screwed up. Here’s flight track at the end :D.

Do not need to download Google Earth!
Oooo freaky, can zoom right into my back garden :D.
Here’s a BHX overview, is wierd to see how different it looked.
An American B767 on the deck at Terminal 2 there, must of been around 2002 time?
13000 feet to take off? Blimey there must have been a lot of “runway glue” about!! Why did it take so long?
Well we departed RWY 33 at Madrid and got off the ground not long before the numbers for RWY 15, it’s a runway of around 13000ft or around that mark so it may well of been less.
It could be said that we were a practically fully loaded A343 and it was rather hot in Madrid, I’m not sure how acurate the flight dynamics are on POSKYs A343s either? whatever the reason it was fun 😀 .
Next small batch from me Honolulu – Hilo with a B717, not the weather I was expecting but hey makes it all more interesting. This is exactly what I like, a very frame-rate friendly aircraft.
