| A rather rainy and windy day in London... though the rain seems to have been added by X-Plane, as the real weather METAR info doesn't seem to mention it | Starting the engine of the Edge 540 | |
|
|
|
| Backtracking along runway 28 | Turning around... | |
|
|
|
| ...and taking off | Barely avoided that flock of birds by staying low during takeoff | |
|
|
|
| Starting my first run on the track | ||
|
|
|
| Actually flying the track required quite a bit of concentration, so this was one of the few pics I got from my attempts | ...and you can see how that one went! | |
|
|
|
| Taking off for another try | Breaking off from one clearly unsuccessful try | The following one was no better :( |
|
|
|
| I decided not to give up before managing at least one reasonable run | Taking off from EGLC in my fifth plane (the winds are still around 13 knots, so crashes are frequent) | My 9th attempt was kind of OK |
|
|
|
| Celebrating with a loop | Ready for another try... | ...but this one wasn't quite as good :( |
|
|
|
| My attempts continue in somewhat unfavorable weather | ||
|
|
|
| On my 7th plane now | ||
