Title: Heavy Metal 2007 Flight Log
Threaded Mode
#1
I decided to start the event from the African starting point as I wanted to fly the VC10. Lots of flying time to come.
Flight Plan
GCLP TFS1A TFS W770 LIMAL UN873 CVS GVAC

No online ATC enroute.

What screen shot program or program in general - gives the caption like that?

That's Snapper from http://www.ovosoft.net/snapper/ Some sites seem to charge for it but it is freeware and an absolute cinch to use.

Thank You! I've seen others use it and have always wondered.

Yes the progam is indeed Snapper and free as is the excellent VC10 by David Maltby. He also has a Trident I will use later on.
Last nifht I could only upload 2 snaps, so here are a couple more of the model.

A few from the first 8 legs.
Thunderstorms on leg 8 which was fun but couldn't get a shot of the lightning :-).

The DC8 is great to fly, from Historic Jetliners Group.

I love the BOAC livery.

Saw more storms. Africa is the place for TS, just like Soth East USA in the summer Smile But still can't catch a nice snap.
Also you'll find the visability is poor until around 5 dme due to the haze. It is fun though.
