• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

:welcome:Started flying the Kangaroo Route, starts at London EGLL Heathrow and ends up in Sydney. Our first leg, Heathrow EGLL to Frankfurt/Main EDDF in PAA DC-7B, and using all retro airports, AI prop airliners all are from Calclassic. Here are a few snaps of the flight. DC-3 landing at EGLL. Newly polished DC-7B over the Channel. On approach to EDDF. A Martin 404 on take off at EDDF while we hold. Still holding as a Connie lands. Fun flight hearing all the ATC chatter with the old airliners.

Next leg Frankfurt to Rome.

:welcome:To PAA Flight #901. Got a nice break from the weather on the flight from Frankfurt to Rome. The passengers could really get some nice pictures of the Alps as we over flew them. Pictures: first, preparing to leave the ramp at Frankfurt. Second, it seems we spend more time holding than flying. Third and fourth, DC-7 over the Alps. And the last one parked at Rome.

The next leg is around 1181 miles from Rome to Beirut, but thinking about making two legs out of this one and land at Athens.
