EGHD VFR in C152

[EHM-1199 Philip]

OK, so not strictly screenshots but here's the tale of my morning... a VFR flight in a Cessna 152 from and to EGHD (Plymouth).

The 'panel' of the C152 - nice VR cockpit too


Lined up on RWY31 at EGHD ready for take-off. L:ined up with the alignment markers for a slightly shorter runway length.


Almost over my own house (five mins drive from the airport). For those of you interested - start at the line of houses in the top left hand corner of the image and count down six to find my house


Tamar bridge in front with the Brunel bridge behind.


Flying back towards Plymouth Sound. The distant island is the 'mew stone' of Wembury and Plymouth breakwater is also visible.


The dockyard with the car ferry in front. (Had to climb to 2500' for this as the exclusion zone prohibits flights below 2000' within a 2 mile radius - that and we were approaching the city centre.)


Plymouth Argyle Football Club - photograph taken about 2 hours before kick-off against Luton.


Anyway, with the morning taken up with a real flight I haven't had the heart to shut the wife in another room and make a virtual flight tonight ... maybe later ...

Nice one Phil, do you already have your PPL or are you training for it?

[EHM-1199 Philip]

Neither Phil ... over the last few years I've tried to get up once or twice a year but I'm a fair run of money luck away from investing in a PPL

Wow, that's amazing Phil. How were you able to take pictures AND fly at the same time? Great shots!

[EHM-1199 Philip]

Instructor took control whenever I wanted to take a photo. (Not too often 'cos I was enjoying having control).

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Oh man, it is fantastic you can make (y)our dreams come true

Good shots btw;)
