Three of us at LEMD...

Attempting a line formation, but turned into a triangle formation...

Getting close...

Couldnt get a close up of Ben, at least not until descent...

At one point during descent, Ben was actually directly below me, couldnt get a picture of it...

anyway, Matt and me descending side by side...

Me landed and turning off the runway...

It was a great flight! We all really enjoyed it!

I had a bit of a problem while landing, and landed at a funny angle, and I asked Ben what it looked like, and he said it was terrible, and I nearly went vertical, but at least I lived!

Later I asked Javier what it was like, and he told me mine was quite a good landing for the difficulty of it, and Ben was the one that went vertical!!!

[EHM-1821 Javier]

lol! Ben, from your angle, how did you land? i saw you land slightly nose gear first(not vertical)...

Lol! For a first time though, I think it went pretty well, even though you three can have 1 inch space between your winglets!

I tried to tell them Razza! I only got within .2NM of Matt and didn't even really see Javier in the air, except as he passed me heading towards VLC (argh).

Thanks for the scenery Alex. I really like the look of those screenshots of LEMD in FSX... and good luck with your C1 exam as well!!
