Title: "Yay! Takeoff in St. Mary's 600m runway with a 747"
Post by: Bobandirus on July 21, 2008, 09:01:05 pm
Just to beat Hampo :P 50% Fule, and there are PAX onboard, just not a lot of them :P

And I did take off just on the end of the concreate, its just doesnt look like it as i wasnt being to harsh, as I didnt want a tail strike which is normally what happent when I try a short runway take of :P

Also, sorry about the bad graphics, my craptop cant really handle Flightsim

Here are the shots:

I made two attempts with the 747-400. The first was completely empty of passengers (and only a small amount of fuel). This easily took off with plenty of room to spare. My second attempt, with pictures below, was filled with passengers (but still only a small amount of fuel). By the way, I put the graphics on maximum settings, hope you like them. I also put the weather on Clear Skies - i.e. no weather at all, so I had no wind to help me.
Waiting fo take off:

I also did a flight before this is an A321, there are some nice shots in there too (I am not sure if this flight had any passengers).

I also got this very close one (at a different airport) with a fully laden (100% fuel, 100% passengers) 747-400. It was only a tiny bit above the water.

Those last shots are St Maarten (TNCM) in the Netherlands Antilles. A 747 should have no trouble taking off there, they have 747s/A340s daily flying between there and Europe. She must have been heavy :lol:

Nope. St Maarten only has sea on one end, the other end is a large mountain.

Actually you're wrong. There is water at both ends- one end is Maho Beach, where all the famous shots are taken, at the other is quite a big lagoon then a 'large' mountain.
