I also take lots of pictures. About 50 pictures pr. flight I think. Then I have a truly hard time picking out the 6-8 pictures that will eventually get in the forum. Sometimes It get more than 8, but I aim for 6-8.

The sunset flight from Faroe Islands to Ireland, boy that was a tough one to select pictures from. Could have posted 30 no problem. The tale comes by itself when posting. I don´t make storyboards or plan storys or anything.

I just think that part of the WWT is really really fun.

More will come now I get into Scandinavia tonight. Cannot wait to land back in Denmark.

Back in Denmark - enjoying a Carlsberg and a bacon sandwich? Sounds good!

Leg 17:

EGPH (Edinburg - Skotland) to ENGM (Gardamoen - Norway)

Hurraaaa I´m in Scandinavia. But what a black flight. The lights at Gardamoen was practically non-existing, so It was a damn good thing I had my GPS for reference or I would have never found the runway. The pictures are a bit darker that my experience onscreen, so it looks even worse, but luckily I got away with it fair. Gotta get used to nightflight though, as I always fly realtime, and fly quite a bit of my flights late in the evening, so...


 
Okay, first a little flightplanning.                                                                                                           Program the GPS, and then fly out in the darkness.

 
The moon did what it could to provide light for me, thank you moon.                                                                        Can you see my plane?

 
Crap. Where are the runway lights?                                                                                                                GPS says I´m doing fine so I hope, I hope, still hoping...

 
Hit the centerline dead on. I´ll let you in on a secret: It was more luck that skill.                                   Balooning, but else a ok blind-landing. Lets park this thing and get some whiskey. A Laphroaig please!

Your turn Mr.Smith:

SquadronLeader (9/24/2008)
Back in Denmark - enjoying a Carlsberg and a bacon sandwich? Sounds good!

Well actually SL, it will be another 10 legs before Kastrup, Copenhagen is on. The route was planned differently.

And I must admit that I prefer Tuborg beer, to Carlsberg, and find that bacon is highly overrated. A bacon sanwich sounds yucky!

I will have me a (case of) Tuborg Classic beer, and a sandwich with slices of potatoes and tomatoes, then mayonnaise, salt, pepper and chive. Put in the toaster and eaten hot. Yummy.

As for the ZeroViZ logo. well look at it!

Sandwich sounds good - but remember, 8 hours from throttle to bottle after you get done with that case of lager.

Erm - maybe take a day off to be safe...

Bacon sandwiches are a British tradition dating back to 1385 - and there are some of us who can remember 1385 - and are fondly regarded by truck drivers, emergency service workers and programmers alike.

Bread, bacon, ketchup, butter - yumm.

They'll eventually kill you of course, so try to eat something different at least one meal a day...

I´ll pass on that bacon thing, and SL: Don´t you mean 8 hours from bottle to throttle? Is there a law aginst parking your plane and getting ´faced?

How did you like ZeroViZ´s new carroty look?

Yeah - you're right - bottle to throttle - I got started early on the Carlsberg today... either that or a lack of java is to blame.

Carrots look great   - next thing I want to see is your repaint of an FSX 737-800 in your livery!
