Lisbao-Dakar - Leg 5 - S005 Ouarzazate to Tan Tan

(1/2) > >>

EHM-1703 Philip:
Hi Jay Kay, I thought I would start the leg 5 Photos with my little trip!

Climbing out of GMMZ, less wind and good visibility today.


Reaching cruise at FL260. Much calmer weather than yesterday although the winds weren't as kind maxing out at 300 kn GS. The clouds were building over the Atlas mountains.


As we reached the coast the clouds cleared again with just a thin layer of mist over land.


As we started the decent we turned inland and there was a few broken clouds to obscure an almost perfect sky.


No landing aids on hand at LMAT so it was a visual approach and although I was a little left on finals, it was pretty close! No sign of those clouds on touchdown!


On the blocks and shutdown just in time for a glorious sunset. 37 PAX delivered safe and sound.


That was the most enjoyable leg so far for me. Timed it just right for the sun to be in my face most of the way ;)

See you all tomorrow for the next leg, almost halfway!

Cheers.

EHM-1657 Jay:
Great shots there Phil ! I am glad you seemed to like the format I was doing this in, this way it does not feel like I am alone out there ;)

Just doing the final check before "having" to take-off into a glorious desert sunset



... told you it was glorious !! ...



After so much sand it is very good to see some blue other then the sky ...



Field in view, a nice and quiet flight, unlike the people on the ground. I only have to deal with winds up here ;)



I hope you enjoyed them !!
