FS9Evo: Crossing the Atlantic - the classic way

Featured Replies

... with my old DC-6, in four legs from Rio de Janeiro to Algiers. In fact, some more than just the Atlantic.

 

Leg 1: Good morning, Rio!

Getting into the air at the last meters of the runway, and then some nice cruising (following our given route) over Rio.

Approaching Fernando de Noronha in deepest night. Next morning gives nice views -

Leg 2: Actually the Atlantic Ocean

And then water, just water, many hours, until the African coast comes in sight.

And this is our destination: Banjul, showing one third of the Gambian Army's Air Force.

In fact, I paused my flight for spending some holidays at Tenerife in real world. Wish I really could fly there... instead I did some simulated GA flying afterwards.

And finally Algiers. The tower building may have seen DC-6s in active service.
