Here some pictures from my flight from Amsterdam to Helsinki yesterday. after takeoff there was not much ATC while heading north so plenty off time to take pictures.

Just after takeoff from Amsterdam




Passing the Arena where "Ajax" plays, but they are definetly NOT my team;D




Start of the sunset over Sweden



The sky is getting pink as the sun sets more



From the cockpit stars are already visible




Sun still going down




Aproaching the coast of Finland




Descending into the clouds.




Heavy clouds and some lightning just before Helsinki. Just my luck, when you have time to make pictures there is no view.




On final




Touchdown




And parked at a very empty airport. I hope somebody will at least arrive to unload my cargo

I was there! I saw you. Nice pics by the way :P

Anyway, I was the one that needed training if you see, EHAMAPP said "Go to BIKF to help this guy with training" or something, that was me controlling BIRD_CTR. So next time anyone flies on IVAO, come to BIKF! Thanks and join Iceland Division!

Touchdown was a little sideways, hah? ;D

Indeed I was a little bit off the side of the runway.:s I wanted to make some pictures of the landing so I tried to land completly on autopilot. For some reason it wanted to go straight up all of a sudden so I had to turn it off quickly wich resulted in this little ackward moment.:$
I still managed to hit the runway though so no harm done;)

Perhaps the ILS station was not aligned well with the visible runway graphics.

Suddenly go straight up.......could that be the flare(flair?) that the autopilot was trying to execute?
