Hi people,
Though I'd share my latest FS Passengers experience.
Just bought a brand new second-hand BAE Jetstream 4100, and successfully flew from Lockhart River in North Queensland (Australia) to Horn Island in
the Torres Strait on the tip of North Queensland. Very proud of myself, with a great landing! However, I didn't estimate my enroute time very well and
got a big penalty for being 28 minutes late. But that's life!

Anyhow, the return trip... This time I went for an altitude of 11,000 ft instead of 29,000 ft and had the engines set above the normal (recommended)
operating parameters. If you know the PMDG Jetstream, it's very strict task master when it comes to flying it and surviving!
Well about 11 minutes and 23 seconds after take off the aircraft had accelerated faster than I anticipated, so within seconds it destroyed itself.
Apparently, ripping into several parts and plumpting to the ground as a flaming wreck... Arghhhhhh!
I'm dead!
