well i dont think ive actualy posted a screenie here before except competitions so here goes: Corsair 767-300 (*EDIT* ER :lol: ) on finals to Madeira. if you haven't flown there do it. just after this pic theres a sharp right turn to line up, but its not fun without real weather. MAdeira is a portuguese (or spanish or something :D ) island of the coast of, you guessed it, Portugal.

Good on you VAC, that approach sounds a bit like Kai Tak just the other way around and not as dramatic.

Great screenshot! I love aircraft in the final approach pitch attitude, and those dangly things hanging down and the big flaps, ,mmmmm

You sure thats a 767? Looks far more like a 773 to me.. Unless a 767-400, but I don't even think that is quite like the one in your screenshot, unless Corsair have there aircraft configured differantly lol like way differantly :lol: err lets just chuck a door in there, and strecht it a bit. This is a 767-300:

Looks like a 767 to me, the 777 has a flat pointed tail cone and 2x 6 wheel main carriages.
Just checked A.net, it's a -300ER :)

and the 777 engines are alot bigger. And the 777 wheels are normal not like the 767 that point down. ...... 777 are just more chunky =D
