Flying Down the Runway

[Charl]

91,000 ft approach to NZWN Rwy 16, to be precise.
Interesting how much detail stays in at this altitude.



EDIT (So as not to ramble on in this Forum) regarding Matt's post below -
No it wasn't me on VATSIM but by gum you do get down the N Island quickly in this beast.
This was out of NZWR and I think it was 20 minutes all in.

2nd EDIT to answer Trolly below: It's a small rework by Bob Chicolo of the freeware ALPHASIM model.

Nice shot there mate!!

You weren't on Vatsim last night were you???

Some guy logged on and filed a flight plan from AA to WN in a Beech Turboprop. Soon after (like 10 mins) he was requesting transition to arpproach at WN(!). The controller asked what sort of plane he was in as he was showing as over 1300 knots ground speed. He said *insert name of a supersonic jet" and was at Mach 2.3 at the moment, passing through 10,000 ft to land ....

Someone made a comment to "ammend his flight plan via the moon" I suggested he better not blink or he'll be in Aussie. He disconnected after the controller suggested he did so...

Fantastic screenshot, one of the best I have seen

What model Blackbird is that? The payware one from Justflight?
