Lugano to Gibraltar

Recommended Posts

It’s a 990 miles journey and the very first time that I take that trip. Let’s see how it turns out, but it should be interesting as our planned route will take us along some very nice places

 

Loading the Citation in Lugano

We fly first a south-westerly course that will bring us to the French Alps

The scenery around Lugano is fantastic

Over the French Alps, it’s time to open the lunch boxes

We have left the Alps and head towards the Cote d’Azur

We’ll soon approach the area around Marseille

We expect a few thunderstorms, so ATC advises us to turn south over the open sea

Eventually we reach Gibraltar. What a superb sight with Africa to the left and Europe to the right

That was a most enjoyable flight. Tomorrow I will do the return flight

Absolutely stunning! One day, when my PC grows up, my sims will look like that ;-)

 

Cheers,

Thanks Peter, but there is actually not that much to it. FSX Gold (no Steam, no P3D) with a bit of photoscenery and the Carenado Citation thrown in for good measure  :smile:
