Nice pictures ... and what a great day for a flight - the weather looks superb.

In the last pic... is that Faro??? It doesnt look like Cadiz or Huelva to me so its the only one left I think... :%

I did a Lisbon-Barcelona flight with the Embraer a few days ago, it went quite good for being a prop plane, even though the details on this plane arent as good as others...

Cheers,

Alex;)

P.S. Are you an LPPT pilot?

Cyriel - loved the images so much I went and flew the flight myself.

Here are four quick images I took of the Embraer on the same flight.

Shortly after take-off


On my way down Portugal following the coast


Approaching Sagres - the final point of land in Europe before heading out over the ocean


And finally, in sight of the African coast and beginning the descent.


A great flight and one I hope to return to again - nice choice for the Embraer eh Cyriel?

Im currently flying the Swedish tour, some of the best scenery ive seen!

Swedish tour was great Alex - just finished that one myself. I've switched to the tour of the Danube but I'm interspersing it with Embraer flights for Euroholidays and a few class one flights within the UK - a combination of loving my VFR UK scenery and enjoying flying the Beech 1900 now I have the gauges from FS2K4 that make it work.

I'm doing the Swedish tour now as well!  It is very popular at the minute!

The Sweden tour is very accessible. It is quite a short tour and split into a short number of legs. A nice entry to the tour world. The tour I really want to fly is the UK tour but I need to buy a couple more VFR scenery packs to really get the benfefit of that one. Also, Autumn in the Alps I flew before the big crash but with some crackpot terrain mesh and no correction for the airports resulting in airports in huge holes etc. This time I will fly it in default scenery but may add some challenging weather. I'm trying to fly the Danube tour in real weather (FS2K4 + WxRE) and itmakes for a far more enjoyable and challenging flight.
My landing at GMMC on these images was seriously tricky. Once lined up nd autopilot off at about 2000ft the cross-wind kicked in big style.
