  • A Blast From The Past!...

    Hi folks,

    Thought I'd take us back a couple of years when My Travel's old DC-10s operated frequently to and from Manchester. I decided to route her from a very scenic Innsbruck to Manchester, operating a winter charter flight. I stuck the GE CF6-50Cv2 Soundset (which can be found at Avsim.com) on this aircraft too. It sounds superb and very realistic, although the loading times are very frequent and occasionally very long, mainly when adjusting the power setting.

    Anyway, on with the screenshots....

    Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30
    Airline: My Travel
    Registration: G-BYDA
    Flight Number: MYT198
    Departure Airport: Innsbruck (LOWI)
    Arrival Airport: Manchester (EGCC)
    Cruise Altitude: FL320
    Cruise Speed: Mach .82

    At the gate waiting for the final passengers and luggage to be loaded.


    Seen just after push back and engine start. A smokey one for number two!...


    Just about to spool up those three CF6-50 engines as we line up on Rwy 08 for takeoff.


    Raw DC-10 power!... This one has to be my favourite of the bunch. Thought I'd upload this one at 1024 wide


    The GE CF6-50Cv2 Soundset screams away as we use almost every foot of Rwy 08 to get airbourne. Time to duck?....


    The classic Innsbruck shot!...


    Well into the climb now as we leave Innsbruck in our jetwash.


    Banking left to head north for Manchester.


    At our cruise altitude of 32,000ft as the flight crew tuck in to their virtual meal


    Passing a First Choice B757 who's heading south, somewhere over Belgium.


    Brussels Int'l (EBBR), as seen from FL320.


    BA 744 a couple of thousand feet above us over northern Belgium.


    The Office....


    Cruising over the English Channel.


    Commencing our descent shortly after passing the waypoint LOGAN.


    Raising the speedbrakes slightly while passing by Nottingham East Midlands airport (on the right).


    Overflying the snowy Pennines as we begin our final descent to 2,500ft.


    On final approach for Manchester's Rwy 24R in full landing configuration.


    Here she comes!.... Love the DC-10 from this angle


    Sailing in low over the houses of Ringway Road.


    Heads up!...


    Touching down on Manchester soil.


    Flaps, reversers and spoilers fully deployed in order to slow this big bird down.


    Passing by the Aviation Viewing Park, the spotters look very interested


    Parked at the gate with passengers and luggage unloading.


    Well that's all until next time guys. All comments and questions welcome!

    Cheers,

    Dale

                    Nah, thought about it a couple of times but just never got round to it.

                    I was lucky to even get off the runway, nevermind my AoA!
