Hi all

 

This is my first post in any forum discussing an enjoyable approach. I don't normally discuss these because I figure we all have our favourite areas in which to fly, but on this particular occasional I had to share.

 

Using OLBA X, I flew from Jeddah to Beirut. Jeddah, in my opinion, is completely dull, but the approach into runway 3 at OLBA was something else.

 

Straddling a hillside and the ocean, coming in from the south, one gets to enjoy the entire city lights at dusk coming in, with the Mediterranean Sea to the left and the city to the right. The atmosphere at dusk was hugely enjoyable, with a good level of traffic. Add the lights of FTX Global and the water and weather effects of REX + Overdrive and it has fast become one of my favourite places to fly, and I recommend you all give it a shot.

Definitely one of my favorite airports, it is even more interesting when you do a Rw16 approach. you can even try LCLK OLBA route as it is the shortest intl route to Beirut (30 min flight), and it is a perfect route for a full flight training/aircraft testing.
