I don't think that it carried a full payload for that flight, it carried the equivalent of a normal load. It was a bit of a marketing gimmick much like Tex Johnson rolling the 707.

When I said full payload, I mean that Douglas company filled the plane with full luggage load using real luggages and full passenger load using 150 lb dummies. It is...

These flights in Indonesia in often bad to very bad weather have made it clear to me how good we actually have it in Europe in terms of weather.

Well done JK , no such thing as an ugly Cat :thumbup:

:thumbup: Magic flight Sir .....tell me, how do you do those reflections? Thanks for your kind words. I use editing to create awesome reflections. Regards, Aharon

Jeff :thumbup: Love your flights, and I love that little Optica....great post.

:bow:....as Dani said.
