I will also be celebrating an iconic B747, this one, however, is the Landor Associates British Airways 747, as British Airways intends to fully retire its whole 747 fleet by 2024, I decided to fly and iconic route, London-Heathrow to Singapore-Changi in an iconic 747. Pic attached is plane in flight

That's a really cool aircraft!!!

British Airways announced this morning that they'll be retiring their remaining Boeing 747-400s effective immediately

Oh no...

And British Airways was the largest operator of that 747 variant.

These are my 4 final flights of a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400.

Mowarin001:
It's no longer news to aviators world-wide that Virgin Atlantic has phased out it's remaining Boeing 747s.
Therefore I am planning a series of videos for my channel to bid this aircraft farewell.
I have specially chosen these routes which were always operated by their 747s and these will be my final flights with a Virgin Atlantic 747.

▶️VS75: Manchester (MAN) - Orlando (MCO)
▶️VS76: Orlando (MCO) - Manchester (MAN)

VS75 will be departing soon. So stay tuned to the channel and subscribe if it's your first visit so you won't miss out on any upcoming video.

@Mowarin001,
So you tell me you have the data to upload your awesome videos, but not to join VATSIM and fly online

LOW VISIBILITY LANDING IN HONG KONG. This was one of my worst landings so far.

Please do That's what this thread is for. I love the pics. I love the one with the 747-8F the most.

The final Qantas 747 landing at Mojave Air & Space Port.

Here are some from the last Qantas 747 flight I did in X-Plane 11.

These shots where taken on my way to the Mojave desert from Los Angeles. This is where the aircraft will be scrapped.

Sorry for the delay, I mean, you have to make flights to have flight pictures, am I right?

This is a British Caledonian Boeing 737-800 touching down at Dublin Airport EIDW

While this is an Alitalia McDonnell Douglas MD-80, climbing to FL220 on the VATSIM network, the controllers were joking that I should fly low, unless my 40-year old engines would fail, little did they know that our very own Dana Air, still uses the 40-year old beast

Hey @Mowarin001, I haven't heard from you (making those awesome videos of course anyway, I've noticed from your videos that you use Mouse Yoke to fly, before I got my physical yoke, I used virtual yoke app, its full version is payware (if you want I can send you a google drive link to download it from me) but it really makes the flight sim experience more enjoyable, and I, for one, think it would make your videos look better, rather than seeing your mouse flying around trying to control that 747

Any who, here are today's pictures:
This is an easyjet Airbus A320 payware version from flightsimlabs (and also, since you are the only flight simmer I've met in Nigeria, I want to gift you 5 payware addons for XPlane on me!) Landing at Vienna Airport amidst heavy lightning

This is a PMDG Boeing 777 painted in Landor Associates Livery, Landing at London-Gatwick EGKK after a 7-hour long haul from..... LAGOS!
I actually flew this flight on the VATSIM network as "SPEEDBIRD 62A" from around 1000Z - 1630Z, I was actually told to divert to EGKK because of heavy traffic at Heathrow

Exactly !!! That's the thing about our airlines in Nigeria. 95% of our fleet consists of these old model aircraft, majority of the aircraft we have were previously used by four different airlines already. So we're basically buying them 5th hand .
Though some might have cool airconditioned cabins, the flight deck is not appetizing at all for aviators like you and I .
I've even seen the flight deck of a Boeing 737Classic, owned by Air Peace and it was nothing to write home about, due to poor maintenance.
I think our aviation sector really needs some attention!!!

:-D Lovely shots you have here by the way!!! extremely detailed pictures.

This is really cool of you! Thanks a lot!!!
I'll check my e-mail shortly.

You're right, seeing my pointer around does kinda ruin the experience.

Quick question. Do you use Xplane 10 or 11, and also, write down aircraft, sceneries, anything that I should get. But remember, only 5 in total

Yes, I play X-Plane 11. I got your email request and I sent a mail so we can connect.
Thanks so much for this.

Of course.
It took a few hours for me to get used to the aircraft. And cover the manuals. Here are some from yesterday's test flight. I'm very fund of the freighter variant.

They're great, I'll send you the link for the Dubai scenery soon, when I purchased it, it was stated that it would take 5 to 10 business days to process the payment since I used PayPal. And also please send your WhatsApp number to my email. Fun Fact: did you notice that the file you downloaded, was exactly 747mb! And if you can, MORE PICTURES!!!!

I cannot thank you enough for this. I won't take this for granted. Expect some good videos of my UPS freight run soon.
I'll mail you my WhatsApp number...

I've sent my number to your mail. I also usually upload some short video clips of xplane11 on my WhatsApp stats.
