Simulator Flight Diary
the travels of "Simantha" our Virgin Blue Virtual Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

We had the pleasure of a good mate of ours, Shannon, who came over to give Simantha a full flight test and progress report. Shannon is a WorldFlight Australia crew member, the Deputy Director of VATPAC (VATSIM in Oz.), and also a real life commercial pilot.

I didn't get alot of time to take shots, but here are a few on the departure, and some video clips on approach.

On the loooong taxi to runway 01.

It' so much easier to taxi now with the wrap around visuals, and 180 view.

Conditions in Sydney were not great with a 15-20 knot crosswind, low-ish cloud and windshear.
