with my leg 2 to start with.
EHM-0948 Bruno:
Hi Eric,
I just checked it and it looks fine! I think you can reduce the image size a bit, you can use imageshack for that.
Regards and keep posting here too!

Hi all, the same storie goes here, but with somewhat reduced size pictures:
Climbing out of DAUT on a hazy afternoon
Some nice clouds around
climbing out through the lower cloud layer
The last of the clouds...
After this initial climb, it became more or less cloudless for the remainder of the journey
Overflying DAUA...
to turn slightly left along J63 all the way to DATM
From there on a 1 1/2 hr long straight to DATM. Not much more to do than look out the window at that big sandbox.
The most dynamic thing in this picture: the fuel gauge on the left. See it moving towards zero? *Yawn*
Descending through FL100 for alt5000
Finally: DATM in sight!
Right hdg260 for a teardrop turn and visual approach rwy08
Not a perfect path, but good enough to get me on the ground in a controlled manner ;)
Must say that a visual approach in a desert is much more tricky than in a more contrast rich environment. Difficult to estimate your height. This time at least I had my shadowas a reference.
After a smooth touchdown, runway vacated.
Notice the tower? It's a trailer with a tower room sitting on top!
I have to admit that after leg 1, this leg was a bit of an uneventful journey. Flying all alone, even without anybody on unicom, through the desert with a view that remains prety much the same all the way. Well, leg 3 will take us to Gao, Mali, which is next to a river (the river Niger), so I expect to see some green around there.
I plan to fly leg 3 on Tuesday January 13th, at around 19:00(Z). Pictures will follow soon after that.
Please feel free to add your own event pictures if you have any!
C.U. after leg 3!
