Vintage Aircraft Series - Boeing Stratocruiser

Flight Sim trip to Hawaii Circa 1959 with Elvis soundtrack.
Check out the much criticized nose dive landing.

I used California Classics Los Angeles/Honolulu scenery on top of the Golden Wings FS9 mod for this video

Now days with jets you can do that in about 4 hours.

That's true but it's not as much fun :0

Proud to say, been there, done that, I flew from Calif to Hawaii on the boeing 377 ( USAF C-97 ) in 1956 and yes, it was about a 12 hour flight , Chuck N9497S )

Cool The simulator is pretty accurate then,

It must have been a noisy 12hrs :)

OMG!!! THERE ARE NO PILOTS!!!!!! :)

Better off without, they would probably be asleep anyway

I think what you do is absolutely BRILLIANT, but in the headline you should put SIMULATION

crappy nosegear landing.

[caskigm]

Slept thru the whole flight , haha Used to take us 8 days to do a Tokoyo turn-around flying the C-97s but it's a great plane .

I don't remember the exact time in flight but it was something like 12 hours

I started on the weekend and kept saving and reloading the flight until landing..

Cheers
