Hi guys,

hope you enjoyed our last flights.

Today we did our shortest leg from Mumbai to Kolkata. (VABB-VECC)

And it was a really special flight, because it was the first flight on the p3d after i passed my practical part for my glider license in real life.

And of course it was a really special moment in my life.

But now let us return to the p3d.

 

This is our log

Okay, now we are ready to head for the open Pacific Ocean. We decided not to go via Alaska. We will avoid the challenging Aleutian weather and fly via warm VFR weather instead. So we will visit the Pacific emergency airfieldy Guam, Wake and Midway.

The first leg took us from Tokyo to Guam. I did not expect Guam to be so green and treeish - either my error or the sim's :-) Anyway, here is the log...

 

Aircraft: again the reliable VC10 XV104, 4 engines for long over water flights :-)

Callsign: CAY784

Hi everybody,

now we are back, flying over solid land after thousands of over-water miles.

So, today, our route took us from San Francisco to Dallas (KSFO-KDFW).

Memories came up flying over areas that once were very familiar from the cockpit of Cessnas, Pipers and Beechcrafts. However, today, again the VC10 had to do the job.

Here is the log & flight info:

 

Aircraft: VC10 XV104

Callsign: CAY784

Hi Guys,

so our first flight of today departed in KDFW with a lot of traffic and arrived in KORD.

We thought it is a good distance for a flight with the DHC-6 and we were right.

SO,

Callsign was CAY 1022 A

Enjoy our posts, cause there are only a few remaining.

Thank you and good bye

Hi Guys,

of course we like the Boeing 727, and thats why we flew this leg also with the 727.

We flew from KJFK to CYQX

And it was really nice to see Canada from above and from the ground!

The callsign was CAY216

We wish you a nice 3rd advent and all the best.

Hi Guys,

Today we flew form CYQZ to BGSF

The next flight will be to an airport with the ICAO- Code beginning A. ;) (C,B,A like the ABC islands)

Hopefully not, because if we are there we are wrong  :(  

But let's get back to our flight.

The callsign was CAY216

And we flew this leg with the Boeing 727, because the distance between the 2 airports is so far that it is not possible to fly this leg with our favourite aircraft (DHC-6).

See this nice background with the high mountains covered with snow and in the foregroung the beautiful cockpit of a Boeing 727 ;) .

Well, slowly we are returning back home both London and Chrstmas are approaching at a trmendous pace.

Tonight's flight took us from Greenland to Iceland. Since the distances are decreasing, we change over to the DHC6.

The weather was cold and foggy, but what would you expect from Greenland or Iceland during winter time ?

 

Route: BGSF-BIKF

Aircraft: DHC6, VP-CXA

Callsign: CAY784
