Well, after many paintings and timetable editing, and not to mention that I am an SCC with 2,5 flight hours
I decided to jump into a superb plane and make a long-long flight over Europe for relaxation.
The desired aircraft became the Airbus A330. I downloaded and installed the panel and setted up the flight. After a crash my PC decided to give me the chance for flying, and finally everything was prepared for an early morning flight from Athen to London all-across Europe.
Enjoy the pictures:
It is 5 AM at Athen. Ready for taxiing. Everybody was very sleepy and the airport was full of aircrafts.
An early morning takeoff from RWY 3R.
Passing a very strange object at 3000'. Perhaps this is the Olympos? Hmmm... nobody home there
At cruise level, about half distance. Over the rocky mountains of Europe: the Alps of Switzerland.
Passing the Bodensee. Hmmm...I should visit my friend there in Konstanz, sometime, somehow...
Over Germany. Wow, poor passengers, what a bumpy ride !
Still Germany, flying over the Ramstein Air Base. There is not too much life down there, but I am sure they are waiting for the arriving cargo planes, heading out of the NATO base at Taszar, Hungary which was closing these days.
"Coming home..." errr... approaching the Channel. Turning toward Dover, the last VOR station on the route.
Descending to FL120, the Thames delta visible to the north.
At about 5000' bumping into clouds. A usual cloudy day over England.
Catching the slope on RWY 27L. Gears out, flaps moving out, over downtown London.
The touchdown was tricky because I forgot to switch off the auto-throttle. Just add a set of tyres to my account boss.
Parked at gate 309. Passengers are waking up and start to leave the plane. It was a fine 3,5 hours flight. I hope you enjoyed the flight and fly with us next time too, when we are going to a sunny holiday to Gran Canaria, Tenerife.
Thank you for watching.
